Wavelets associated with nonuniform multiresolution analyses and one-dimensional spectral pairs

A generalization of Mallat's classic multiresolution analysis (MRA), based on the theory of spectral pairs, was considered in two papers by Gabardo and Nashed. In this nonstandard setting, the translation set is no longer a subgroup or a translate of a subgroup of R, but is a spectrum associated with a one-dimensional spectral pair. In this paper, we continue the study based on this nonstandard setting and give the characterization for nonuniform wavelets associated with a nonuniform MRA. These characterizations are consistent with both the known necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of nonuniform MRA wavelets and the known characterization for standard dyadic wavelets associated with an MRA.
