Completeness of a dilation system ${\left(\varphi \left(nx\right)\right)}_{n\ge 1}$ on the standard Lebesgue space $L^2(0,1)$ is considered for 2-periodic functions $\varphi$. We show that the problem is equivalent to an open question on cyclic vectors of the Hardy space $H^2\left({𝔻}_2^{\infty }\right)$ on the Hilbert multidisc ${𝔻}_2^{\infty }$. Several simple sufficient conditions are exhibited, which include however practically all previously known results (Wintner; Kozlov; Neuwirth, Ginsberg, and Newman; Hedenmalm, Lindquist, and Seip). For instance, each of the following conditions implies cyclicity...
