Abstract:

In this paper we investigate the algebraic properties of multivariate discrete splines. It turns out that multivariate discrete splines are closely related to linear diophantine equations. In particular, we use a solvability condition for a system of linear diophantine equations to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the integer translates of a discrete box spline to be linearly independent. In order to understand the local structure of discrete splines we develop a general theory for certain systems of linear partial difference equations. Using this theory we prove that the integer translates of a discrete box spline are locally linearly independent if and only if they are linearly independent.
