At zero, the partial products are . Their assumed convergence and force and . Uniform convergence on compact sets makes continuous. The identity with gives with squared norm . Define by the inverse Fourier transform in . The Plancherel theorem and the other given integral identities give
Define as the closed span of . These functions form an orthonormal basis of , and dyadic dilation gives the scale axiom. Shifting the infinite product gives
so the finite Fourier series of gives a scaling refinement equation and . The coarse-scale projection argument of part 1(b) proves the trivial-intersection axiom.
For density, take a function with bounded Fourier support. The MRA projection Fourier identity gives, for large ,
Uniform convergence of to one on that support proves the limit. Since is an orthogonal projection, . Such functions are dense in , giving
Thus all the multiresolution analysis axioms hold. Under the strong convergence and orthogonality assumptions supplied here, the additional nonvanishing condition is not needed in this last verification; it is useful when establishing those assumptions from a filter.
