It is also suitable as a self-study or reference guide for practitioners and professionals."

Recenzje

"It can be seen as a reference text or as a study book, complete with definitions, theorems, proofs and exercises. ... The book is an up to date reference work on univariate Fourier and wavelet analysis including recent developments in multiresolution, wavelet analysis, and applications in turbulence. The systematic construction of the chapters with extensive lists of exercises make it also very suitable for teaching." (Adhemar Bultheel, euro-math-soc.eu, February, 2015)

"The book is primarily aimed at advanced undergraduates and graduate students across all of applied mathematics. It is a good source of information for all professionals interested in wavelet transforms and their applications." (Yuri A. Farkov, zbMATH 1308.42030, 2015)

This textbook is an introduction to wavelet transforms and accessible to a larger audience with diverse backgrounds and interests in mathematics, science, and engineering. Emphasis is placed on the logical development of fundamental ideas and systematic treatment of wavelet analysis and its applications to a wide variety of problems as encountered in various interdisciplinary areas.

Numerous standard and challenging topics, applications, and exercises are included in this edition, which will stimulate research interest among senior undergraduate and graduate students. The book contains a large number of examples, which are either directly associated with applications or formulated in terms of the mathematical, physical, and engineering context in which wavelet theory arises.

Topics and Features of the Second Edition:

·         Expanded and revised the historical introduction by including many new topics such as the fractional Fourier transform, and the construction of wavelet bases in various spaces other than  and several new extensions of the original multiresolution analysis.

·         Extensions of the classical theory of multiresolution analysis consisting of Ƥ-multiresolution analysis on the positive half-line  and non-uniform multiresolution analysis.

·         Includes carefully chosen end-of-chapter exercises directly associated with applications or formulated in terms of the mathematical, physical, and engineering context and provides answers to selected exercises for additional help

·         Completely updated bibliography and enlarged index

Mathematicians, physicists, computer engineers, and electrical and mechanical engineers will find Wavelet Transforms and Their Applications an exceptionally complete and accessible text and reference. It is also suitable as a self-study or reference guide for practitioners and professionals.
