Objectives:
The aim of the course is to introduce the main constructions of wavelets and frames, show their applications to the modern signal processing and to numerical algorithms, and consider optimization problems solved in that theory. The course provides students with all necessary tools from functional and harmonic analysis to construct and analyze systems of wavelets and with the methods of optimal control for the corresponding optimization problems.
