The rapid growth of wavelet applications-speech compression and analysis, image compression and enhancement, and removing noise from audio and images-has create

In the first edition of his seminal introduction to wavelets, James S. Walker informed us that the potential applications for wavelets were virtually unlimited.

Wavelet theory had its origin in quantum field theory, signal analysis, and function space theory. In these areas wavelet-like algorithms replace the classical

Wavelets is a carefully organized and edited collection of extended survey papers addressing key topics in the mathematical foundations and applications of wave

Considerable attention from the international scientific community is currently focused on the wide ranging applications of wavelets. For the first time, the fi
