Advances in Gabor Analysis

Unified, self-contained volume providing insight into the richness of Gabor analysis and its potential for development in applied mathematics and engineering. Mathematicians and engineers treat a range of topics, and cover theory and applications to areas such as digital and wireless communications. The work demonstrates interactions and connections among areas in which Gabor analysis plays a role: harmonic analysis, operator theory, quantum physics, numerical analysis, signal/image processing. For graduate students, professionals, and researchers in pure and applied mathematics, math physics, and engineering.

"The authors have put their effort into writing articles with the necessary background to make their presentations attractive and including a complete set of references. Good introductions and detailed expositions of ideas are given in all the presentations. These features make this book an invaluable tool for researchers interested in signal analysis. The research community will benefit greatly from this publication." Mathematical Reviews

"The present book can be considered as a continuation of two previous ones: Gabor Analysis and Algorithms: Theory and Applications, H. G. Feichtinger and T. Strohmer, Eds., Birkhäuser 1998, and the book by K. Gröchenig, Foundations of Time-Frequency Analysis, Birkhäuser 2001. It contains survey chapters, but new results that have not been published previously are also included. The introductory chapter of the book, written by H. G. Feichtinger and T. Strohmer, contains a clear outline of the contents as well as some comments on the future developments in Gabor analysis.

Written by leading experts in the field, the volume appeals, by its interdisciplinary character, to a large audience, both novices and experts, theoretically inclined researchers and practitioners as well. It brilliantly illustrates how application areas and pure and applied mathematics can work together with profit for all." Revue D'Analyse Numérique et de Théorie de L'Approximation, 2004

"A mathematically sound and self-contained presentation on recent advances in the highly applicable field of Gabor analysis. This book is a must for all interested in signal analysis, and, of course, in particular in Gabor analysis." Monatschefte für Mathematik
