Many physiological signals may be described either as isolated pulses or as quasi-periodic sequences of isolated pulses. Wavelets are a powerful tool for the representation and analysis of such physiologic waveforms because a wavelet has finite duration (compact support) as contrasted with Fourier methods based on sinusoids of infinite duration. We show two examples of physiological signal proc...

An adaptive wavelet-based method is proposed for solving TV(total variation)–Allen–Cahn type models for multi-phase image segmentation. The adaptive algorithm integrates (i) grid adaptation based on a threshold of the sparse wavelet representation of the locally-structured solution; and (ii) effective finite difference on irregular stencils. The compactly supported interpolating-type wavelets e...

In the preface of Finite Group Theory the author, I. Martin Isaacs, states that his principal reason for writing the book was to expose students to the beauty of the subject. Finite group theory is indeed a subject which has both beautiful theory and beautiful examples. The simplicity and elegance of the group axioms have made group theory an almost universal choice as a starting point in the t...

An adaptive multilevel wavelet collocation method for solving multi-dimensional elliptic problems with localized structures is described. The method is based on multi-dimensional second generation wavelets, and is an extension of the dynamically adaptive second generation wavelet collocation method for evolution problems [Int. J. Comp. Fluid Dyn. 17 (2003) 151]. Wavelet decomposition is used fo...

Abstract. Advantage of wavelet Galerkin method over finite difference or element method has led to tremendous applications in science and engineering. In recent years there has been increasing attempt to find solutions of differential equations using wavelet techniques. In this paper, we elaborate the wavelet techniques and apply Galerkin procedure to analyse one dimensional harmonic wave equat...

Given a real, expansive dilation matrix we prove that any bandlimited function ψ ∈ L(R), for which the dilations of its Fourier transform form a partition of unity, generates a wavelet frame for certain translation lattices. Moreover, there exists a dual wavelet frame generated by a finite linear combination of dilations of ψ with explicitly given coefficients. The result allows a simple constr...

A dynamically adaptive numerical method for solving multi-dimensional evolution problems with localized structures is developed. The method is based on the general class of multi-dimensional second-generation wavelets and is an extension of the second-generation wavelet collocation method of Vasilyev and Bowman to two and higher dimensions and irregular sampling intervals. Wavelet decomposition...

In a remarkable variety of contexts appears the modular data associated to finite groups. And yet, compared to the well-understood affine algebra modular data, the general properties of this finite group modular data has been poorly explored. In this paper we undergo such a study. We identify some senses in which the finite group data is similar to, and different from, the affine data. We also ...
