About this Item

Wavelet analysis has been one of the major research directions in science in the last decade. More and more mathematicians and scientists join this exciting research area. Certainly, wavelet analysis has had a great impact in areas such as approximation theory, harmonic analysis, and scientific computation. More importantly, wavelet analysis has shown great potential in applications to information technology such as signal processing, image processing, and computer graphics. China has played a significant role in this development of wavelet analysis as evidenced by many fruitful theoretical results and practical applications.A conference on wavelet analysis and its applications was organized to exchange ideas and results with international research groups at Zhongshan University (Guangzhou, China). This volume contains the proceedings from that conference. Comprised here are selected papers from the conference, covering a wide range of research topics of current interest. Many significant results are included in the study of refinement equations and refinable functions, properties and construction of wavelets, spline wavelets, multi-wavelets, wavelet packets, shift-invariant spaces, approximation schemes and subdivision algorithms, and tilings. Several papers also focus on applications of wavelets to numerical solutions of partial differential equations and integral equations, image processing and facial recognition, computer vision, and feature extraction from data.

About this title

Synopsis

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. There is no index.
