Abstract

John J. Benedetto has had a profound influence not only on the direction of harmonic analysis and its applications, but also on the entire community of people involved in the field. This self-contained volume in honor of John covers a wide range of topics in harmonic analysis and related areas, including weighted-norm inequalities, frame theory, wavelet theory, time-frequency analysis, and sampling theory. The invited chapters pay tribute to John's many achievements and express an appreciation for both the mathematical and personal inspiration he has given to so many students, coauthors, and colleagues. Although the scope of the book is broad, chapters are clustered by topic to provide authoritative expositions that will be of lasting interest. The original papers collected here are written by prominent, well-respected researchers and professionals in the field of harmonic analysis. The book is divided into the following five sections: * Classical harmonic analysis * Frame theory * Time-frequency analysis * Wavelet theory * Sampling theory and shift-invariant spaces Harmonic Analysis and Applications is an excellent reference for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in pure and applied mathematics, engineering, and physics.

Abstract

The problem of approximating a given quantity is one of the oldest challenges faced by mathematicians. Its increasing importance in contemporary mathematics has created an entirely new area known as Approximation Theory. The modern theory was initially developed along two divergent schools of thought: the Eastern or Russian group, employing almost exclusively algebraic methods, was headed by Chebyshev together with his coterie at the Saint Petersburg Mathematical School, while the Western mathematicians, adopting a more analytical approach, included Weierstrass, Hilbert, Klein, and others. This work traces the history of approximation theory from Leonhard Euler's cartographic investigations at the end of the 18th century to the early 20th century contributions of Sergei Bernstein in defining a new branch of function theory. One of the key strengths of this book is the narrative itself. The author combines a mathematical analysis of the subject with an engaging discussion of the differing philosophical underpinnings in approach as demonstrated by the various mathematicians. This exciting exposition integrates history, philosophy, and mathematics. While demonstrating excellent technical control of the underlying mathematics, the work is focused on essential results for the development of the theory. The exposition begins with a history of the forerunners of modern approximation theory, i.e., Euler, Laplace, and Fourier. The treatment then shifts to Chebyshev, his overall philosophy of mathematics, and the Saint Petersburg Mathematical School, stressing in particular the roles played by Zolotarev and the Markov brothers. A philosophical dialectic then unfolds, contrasting East vs. West, detailing the work of Weierstrass as well as that of the Goettingen school led by Hilbert and Klein. The final chapter emphasizes the important work of the Russian Jewish mathematician Sergei Bernstein, whose constructive proof of the Weierstrass theorem and extension of Chebyshev's work serve to unify East and West in their approaches to approximation theory. Appendices containing biographical data on numerous eminent mathematicians, explanations of Russian nomenclature and academic degrees, and an excellent index round out the presentation.

Abstract

Special functions and orthogonal polynomials in particular have been around for centuries. Can you imagine mathematics without trigonometric functions, the exponential function or polynomials? In the twentieth century the emphasis was on special functions satisfying linear differential equations, but this has now been extended to difference equations, partial differential equations and non-linear differential equations. The present set of lecture notes containes seven chapters about the current state of orthogonal polynomials and special functions and gives a view on open problems and future directions. The topics are: computational methods and software for quadrature and approximation, equilibrium problems in logarithmic potential theory, discrete orthogonal polynomials and convergence of Krylov subspace methods in numerical linear algebra, orthogonal rational functions and matrix orthogonal rational functions, orthogonal polynomials in several variables (Jack polynomials) and separation of variables, a classification of finite families of orthogonal polynomials in Askey's scheme using Leonard pairs, and non-linear special functions associated with the Painlevé equations.

Abstract

In order to study discrete Abelian groups with wide range applications, the use of classical functional equations, difference and differential equations, polynomial ideals, digital filtering and polynomial hypergroups is required. This book covers several different problems in this field and is unique in being the only comprehensive coverage of this topic. It should appeal to graduate students and researchers in harmonic analysis, spectral analysis, functional equations and hypergroups.

Abstract

With the exception of the tragedy on September 11, the year 2001 was relatively normal and uneventful: remember, this should have been the year of the Clarke's andKubrick's Space Odyssey, mission to Juiter; it should have been the year of the HAL-9000 computer. Today, the Personal Computer is as ubiquitous and omnipresent as was HAL on the Discovery spaceship. And the rate of technology development and market growth in electronics industry still follows the famous ˜Moore Law', almost four decades after it has been first formulated: in 1965, Gordon Moore of Intel Corporation predicted the doubling of the number of transistors on a chip every 2 years, corrected to 18 months in 1967; at that time, the landing on the Moon was in full preparation. Curiously enough, today noone cares to go to the Moon again, let alone Jupiter. And, in spite of all the effort in digital engineering, we still do not have anything close to 0.1% of the HAL capacity (fortunately?!). Whilst there are many research labs striving to put artificial intelligence into a computer, there are also rumors that this has already happened (with Windows-95, of course!).
