The increased regularity is obtained by optimizing the locations of the roots the scaling filter has on the interval (pi/2,π). The results improve those obtained by I. Daubechies [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 41 (1988), 909-996], H. Volkmer [SIAM J. Math. Anal. 26 (1995), 1075-1087], and P. G. Lemarie-Rieusset and E. Zahrouni [Appl. Comput. Harmon.
