In this book I have tried to take a fresh look at some of this basic material and to organize it in a coherent fashion...read more

Product Description: This monograph provides a thorough treatment of parameter-dependent extremal problems with local minimum values that remain unchanged under changes of the parameter. The authors consider the theory as well the practical treatment of those problems, both in finite-dimensional as well as in infinite-dimensional spaces...read more

Product Description: ? Concise background material for each chapter, open problems, exercises, bibliography, and comprehensive index make this work a fine pedagogical and reference resource.; New previously unpublished results appear on the homotopy of multiresolutions, approximation theory, the spectrum and structure of the fixed points of the associated transfer, subdivision operators; Key topics of wavelet theory are examined; Excellent graphics show how wavelets depend on the spectra of the transfer operators; The important role of the spectrum of a transfer operator is studied; This self-contained book deals with important applications to signal processing, communications engineering, computer graphics algorithms, qubit algorithms and chaos theory...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
