“…a j z j , z ∈ C \ {0} (1.5) as τ a = A (1) m (see, e.g., [5]) where A (z) denotes the first derivative of A(z). In particular, in [5] it is proven that, in case of a subdivision scheme with odd-symmetry (see Definition 2.2), τ a ∈ Z; conversely, in case of even-symmetry (see Definition 2.3), τ a ∈ Z 2 \ Z. Symmetric, compactly supported interpolating m-refinable functions that we can find in the literature always fulfill equation (1.4) in the case τ a ∈ Z, i.e., are associated with an odd-symmetric subdivision mask a satisfying (1.3) for an even integer M (see, e.g., [1,2,8,11,15,16,18,23,24]). In addition, for all of them the odd-symmetric subdivision mask a is such that…”
