Synopsis

Wavelet analysis is a growing field of active research. It has found many applications ranging from all kinds of signal data analysis (geoprospection, speech recognition, singularity detection) and data compression (image, voice-signals) to pure mathematics. This textbook explains in elementary language the mathematical foundations of the theory, illustrated with many examples.

About this title

Review

"Most of the book is devoted to a rigorous definition of the CWT, an investigation of its properties, and applications of functional analysis." --Mathematical Reviews"The book could serve well as a text, reference or tutorial on wavelets. It has a strong theoretical component and contains the foundations for the most current applications of wavelet theory." --Physics Today"The book is self-contained, covers a lot of ground, has many interesting insights, and, considering its scope, is a significant achievement."--Journal of Statistical Physics"A nicely written, fairly self-contained introduction to the theory of continuous wavelet transforms and some of its applications. . . .Statisticians might be interested in the very well written introduction (over 100 pages) and the parts of the book that concentrate on the wavelet as a time-frequency analysis tool."--Journal of the American Statistical Association
