Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We envision a collection of papers in applied and computational harmonic analysis with an emphasis on frame analysis. In technical terms, Hilbert space-frames generalize more standard notions of bases. They are configurations of vectors in Hilbert space, which form overcomplete spanning families; and, hence, they generalize more standard notions of bases. In frame analysis, we give up the orthogonality requirements in ONBs. The introduction and use of frames are dictated by such applications as decomposition of signals, such as images, sound, e.g., music, speech, big data in finance, astrophysics, etc. The advantage of frames over the orthonormal bases is due their flexibility, and their use in reconstruction, multi-band analysis, in sampling theory, and to their ability to account for redundancy and aliasing. In detail, referring to the analysis/synthesis problem: with the use of suitable frames, each Hilbert space vector (signal) can be represented in many different ways in terms of frame elements. This makes the frames very useful in algorithms for recovering of data, for example data lost in Internet coding (so called erasure), in error correction in coding and decoding theory, in minimizing of noise in signal and image processing, and in speech recognition, signal processing, quantum computing, coding theory, and sparse representations, and in electrical engineering. Riesz bases and orthonormal bases are examples of frames.

Frames are constructed on various settings such as Euclidean spaces, manifolds, Lie groups, finite groups, finite fields, graphs and fractals. The structure and role of a frame varies by its application to a given explicit problem, and its adaptation adapts well to the desired setting. Most well known frames are Gabor frames (in connection to signal processing), Grassmannian frames (in connection to the area of spherical code, with application to wireless communication and to multiple description coding), and probabilistic frames as probabilistic measure in relation to statistics, geometry of convex bodies, quantum computing, and compress sensing.

A special kind of Hilbert space frames is wavelets. The construction of wavelet frames takes advantage of similarity up to scale. The functions making up a wavelet frame are obtained by action of a pair of operator families, dilations and translations, and acting on a single function a so-called ``mother function". Wavelets are usually obtained with the use of suitable multiscale analyses; and are popular in applications and decomposition problems due to their efficiency, especially in time-frequency localization problems. The wavelets, as analytic tools, have found a great number of applications in astrophysics, and harmonic analysis, such as in geometric discrepancy theory and in the study of irregularities of distributions.

Abstract

In this paper, we generalize the family of Deslauriers–Dubuc’s interpolatory masks from dimension one to arbitrary dimensions with respect to the quincunx dilation matrices, thereby providing a family of quincunx fundamental refinable functions in arbitrary dimensions. We show that a family of unique [...] Read more.

A (z)

(together with its inverse

A^{- 1} (z)

) is called a symmetric Laurent polynomial matrix extension of the dual pair

(\vec{a} (z), \vec{b} (z))

A (z)

. In this paper, we introduce the Euclidean symmetric division and the symmetric elementary matrices in the Laurent polynomial ring and reveal their relation. Based on the Euclidean symmetric division algorithm in the Laurent polynomial ring, we develop a novel and effective algorithm for symmetric Laurent polynomial matrix extension. We also apply the algorithm in the construction of multi-band symmetric perfect reconstruction filter banks. Full article

Sparse Wavelet Representation of Differential Operators with Piecewise Polynomial Coefﬁcients

by Dana Černá and Václav Finĕk

Axioms 2017, 6(1), 4; https://doi.org/10.3390/axioms6010004 - 22 Feb 2017

Cited by 15 | Viewed by 4603

Abstract

We propose a construction of a Hermite cubic spline-wavelet basis on the interval and hypercube. The basis is adapted to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The wavelets are orthogonal to piecewise polynomials of degree at most seven on a uniform grid. Therefore, the wavelets have eight vanishing moments, and the matrices arising from discretization of differential equations with coefﬁcients that are piecewise polynomials of degree at most four on uniform grids are sparse. Numerical examples demonstrate the efﬁciency of an adaptive wavelet method with the constructed wavelet basis for solving the one-dimensional elliptic equation and the two-dimensional Black–Scholes equation with a quadratic volatility.

The SIC Question: History and State of Play

by Christopher A. Fuchs, Michael C. Hoang and Blake C. Stacey

Abstract

Recent years have seen significant advances in the study of symmetric informationally complete (SIC) quantum measurements, also known as maximal sets of complex equiangular lines. Previously, the published record contained solutions up to dimension 67, and was with high confidence complete up through dimension 50. Computer calculations have now furnished solutions in all dimensions up to 151, and in several cases beyond that, as large as dimension 844. These new solutions exhibit an additional type of symmetry beyond the basic definition of a SIC, and so verify a conjecture of Zauner in many new cases. The solutions in dimensions 68 through 121 were obtained by Andrew Scott, and his catalogue of distinct solutions is, with high confidence, complete up to dimension 90. Additional results in dimensions 122 through 151 were calculated by the authors using Scott’s code. We recap the history of the problem, outline how the numerical searches were done, and pose some conjectures on how the search technique could be improved. In order to facilitate communication across disciplinary boundaries, we also present a comprehensive bibliography of SIC research. Full article
