It is shown that an orthonormal wavelet basis for L2(R) associated wit
h a multiresolution is an unconditional basis for the Sobolev space H(
t)(R), t is-an-element-of [-s, s], provided the father wavelet belongs
to H(s)(R) and the square of its absolute value has finite moments. A
criterion for when the wavelet belongs to H(s)(R) is given.
