At zero, the partial products are $m(0{)}^n$. Their assumed convergence and $|m(0)|=1$ force $m(0)=1$ and $\Theta (0)=1$. Uniform convergence on compact sets makes $\Theta$ continuous. The identity with $k=0$ gives $\Theta \in L^2$ with squared norm $2\pi$. Define $\phi$ by the inverse Fourier transform in $L^2$. The Plancherel theorem and the other given integral identities giveDefine $V_j$ as the closed span of ${\phi }_{j,k}(x)=2^{j/2}\phi (2^{j}x-k)$. These functions form an orthonormal basis of $V_j$, and dyadic dilation gives the scale axiom. Shifting the infinite product givesso the finite Fourier series of $m$ gives a scaling refinement equation and $V_j\subset V_{j+1}$. The coarse-scale projection argument of part 1(b) proves the trivial-intersection axiom.

For density, take a function $f$ with bounded Fourier support. The MRA projection Fourier identity gives, for large $j$,Uniform convergence of $\Theta (2^{-j}\xi )$ to one on that support proves the limit. Since $P_j$ is an orthogonal projection, $\Vert f-P_{j}f{\Vert }_2^2=\Vert f{\Vert }_2^2-\Vert P_{j}f{\Vert }_2^2\to 0$. Such functions are dense in $L^2$, givingThus 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.
