The Functional and Harmonic Analysis of Wavelets and Frames

AMS Special Session on the Functional and Harmonic Analysis of Wavelets, January 13-14, 1999, San Antonio, Texas

By: Lawrence W. Baggett,David R. Larson

Over the past decade, wavelets and frames have emerged as increasingly powerful tools of analysis on $n$-dimension Euclidean space. Both wavelets and frames were studied initially by using classical Fourier analysis. However, in recent years more abstract tools have been introduced, for example, from operator theory, abstract harmonic analysis, von Neumann algebras, etc. The editors of this volume organized a Special Session on the functional and harmonic analysis of wavelets at the San Antonio (TX) Joint Mathematics Meetings. The goal of the session was to focus research attention on these newly-introduced tools and to share the organizers' view that this modern application holds the promise of providing some deeper understanding and fascinating new structures in pure functional analysis. This volume presents the fruitful results of the lively discussions that took place at the conference

Frames, Bases and Group Representations

By: Deguang Han,David R. Larson

This work develops an operator-theoretic approach to discrete frame theory on a separable Hilbert space. It is then applied to an investigation of the structural properties of systems of unitary operators on Hilbert space which are related to orthonormal wavelet theory. Also obtained are applications of frame theory to group representations, and of the theory of abstract unitary systems to frames generated by Gabor type systems.

Operator-Valued Measures, Dilations, and the Theory of Frames

By: Deguang Han, David R. Larson,Bei Liu,Rui Liu

The authors develop elements of a general dilation theory for operator-valued measures. Hilbert space operator-valued measures are closely related to bounded linear maps on abelian von Neumann algebras, and some of their results include new dilation results for bounded linear maps that are not necessarily completely bounded, and from domain algebras that are not necessarily abelian. In the non-cb case the dilation space often needs to be a Banach space. They give applications to both the discrete and the continuous frame theory. There are natural associations between the theory of frames (including continuous frames and framings), the theory of operator-valued measures on sigma-algebras of sets, and the theory of continuous linear maps between -algebras. In this connection frame theory itself is identified with the special case in which the domain algebra for the maps is an abelian von Neumann algebra and the map is normal (i.e. ultraweakly, or weakly, or w*) continuous.

Wandering Vectors for Unitary Systems and Orthogonal Wavelets

By: Xingde Dai,David R. Larson

Investigates topological and structural properties of the set W(U) of all complete wandering vectors for a system U of unitary operators acting on a Hilbert space. The authors parameterize W(U) in terms of a fixed vector y and the set of all unitary operators which locally commute with U at y. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Energetic Materials at Extreme Conditions

By: David I.A. Millar

David I.A. Millar's thesis explores the effects of extreme conditions on energetic materials. His study identifies and structurally characterises new polymorphs obtained at high pressures and/or temperatures. The performance of energetic materials (pyrotechnics, propellants and explosives) can depend on a number of factors including sensitivity to detonation, detonation velocity, and chemical and thermal stability. Polymorphism and solid-state phase transitions may therefore have significant consequences for the performance and safety of energetic materials. In order to model the behaviour of these important materials effectively under operational conditions it is essential to obtain detailed structural information at a range of temperatures and pressures.

The Handbook of Communication Science

By: Charles R. Berger,Michael E. Roloff,David R. Ewoldsen

This revision of a classic volume presents state-of-the-art reviews of established and emerging areas of communication science and provides an intellectual compass that points the way to future theorizing about communication processes. In this Second Edition of The Handbook of Communication Science, editors Charles R. Berger, Michael E. Roloff, and David Roskos-Ewoldsen bring together an impressive array of communication scholars to explore and synthesize the varying perspectives and approaches within the dynamic field of communication science. After first addressing the methods of research and the history of the field, the Handbook then examines the levels of analysis in communication (individual to macro-social), the functions of communication (such as socialization and persuasion), and the contexts in which communication occurs (such as couples, families, organizations, and mass media). Key Features: Draws on the scholarship and expertise of leading communication scholars who explore different aspects of the field Covers all facets of communication science, from the historical and theoretical to the practical and applied Covers the latest theoretical developments in the field, as well as alternative methodologies and levels of analysis Explores key communication contexts of the 21st century, including interpersonal dimensions of health communication, the scientific investigation of marital and family communication, and computer-mediated communication Includes incisive analyses, literature reviews, bibliographies, and suggestions for future research The Handbook of Communication Science, Second Edition, is an essential reference resource for scholars, practitioners, and students. It is appropriate for upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses in Communication and Media Studies and Mass Communication.

After-School Centers and Youth Development

Case Studies of Success and Failure

By: Barton J. Hirsch,Nancy L. Deutsch,David L. DuBois

This book examines after-school programs in light of their explosive growth in recent years. In the rush to mount programs, there is a danger of promoting weak ones of little value and failing to implement strong ones adequately. But what is quality and how can it be achieved? This book presents findings from an intensive study of three after-school centers that differed dramatically in quality. Drawing from 233 site visits, the authors examine how – and why – young people thrive in good programs and suffer in weak ones. The book features engaging, in-depth case studies of each of the three centers and of six youths, two from each center. Written in a highly accessible style for academics, youth workers, after-school program leaders and policy makers, the study breaks new ground in highlighting the importance of factors such as collective mentoring, synergies among different programs and activities, and organizational culture and practices.
