It was observed in [4] that the Hilbert transform of the univariate B-spline preserves the B-spline recurrence. Motivated by this observation, we characterize translation invariant operators that preserve the multivariate B-spline recurrence and analogous results are also provided for the multivariate cube spline. Key words. Multivariate B-spline recurrence, cube splines, translation invariant operators, homogeneous distributions. AMS subject classifications. 41A15, 44A35
