Abstract

Convergent subdivision schemes arise in several fields of applied mathematics (computer-aided geometric design, fractals, compactly supported wavelets) and signal processing (multiresolution decomposition, filter banks). In this paper, a polynomial description is used to study the existence and Hölder regularity of limit functions of binary subdivision schemes. Sharp regularity estimates are derived; they are optimal in most cases. They can easily be implemented on a computer, and simulations show that the exact regularity order is accurately determined after a few iterations. Connection is made to regularity estimates of solutions to two-scale difference equations as derived by Daubechies and Lagarias, and other known Fourier-based estimates. The former are often optimal, while the latter are optimal only for a subclass of symmetric limit functions.
