The last two decades have produced tremendous developments in the mathematical theory of wavelets and their great variety of applications in science and engineering. Wavelets allow complex information, such as music, speech, images and patterns to be decomposed into an elementary form called 'building blocks' at different positions and scales. The information is reconstructed with high precision. In an effort to acquaint researchers in applied mathematics, physics, statistics, computer science, and engineering and to stimulate further research, a regional research convergence was organized at the University of Central Florida in May 1998. Many distinguished applied mathematicians and engineering scientists participated in the conference and presented a digest of recent developments, open questions and unsolved problems in this rapidly growing and important field. As a follow-up project, this book has developed from chapters written by renowned mathematicians and engineering scientists who have important contribution to the subject of wavelets, wavelet transforms, and time-frequency signal analysis. The carefully selected chapters in this new text will appeal to the reader interested in a broad perspective of wavelet analysis and time- frequency signal analysis. "Wavelet Transforms and Time-Frequency Signal Analysis" brings together recent developments in theory and applications of wavelet transforms that are likely to determine fruitful directions for future advanced study and research. The book is designed as a new source for modern topics dealing with wavelets, wavelet transforms, time-frequency signal analysis and other applications for future development of this new, important and useful subject for mathematics, science and engineering.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is a great collection of recent material of recent investigation on wavelet and time-frequency analysis that is not covered in the literature.... The book is an important source for all readers interested in a broad perspective. In particular, a wide variety of applications are presented that are important for interdisciplinary collaborative research."
