Multiresolution expansions of distributions : pointwise convergence and quasiasymptotic behavior

In several variables, we prove the pointwise convergence of multiresolution expansions to the distributional point values of tempered distributions and distributions of superexponential growth. The article extends and improves earlier results by G. G. Walter and B. K. Sohn and D. H. Pahk that were shown in one variable. We also provide characterizations of the quasiasymptotic behavior of distributions at finite points and discuss connections with $\alpha$-density points of measures
