Wavelet Analysis and Applications

These 26 papers selected from the conference held in November 1999 at Zhongshan U., with which the editors are affiliated, focus on a major research direction increasingly attracting mathematicians and scientists. In addition to impacting approximation theory, harmonic analysis, and scientific computation, wavelet analysis has “shown great potential in applications to information technology such as signal processing, image processing, and computer graphics.” The diverse topics covered include key results in the study of the properties and construction of wavelets, relevant algorithms, and applications such as face recognition systems.
