[1] Mathematics for WAVELETS
Date: Thu Mar 12 11:02:57 EST 1998
Hi,
I am interested in reading in-depth the mathematics relevant to
wavelets. Some wavelet texts have reasonable introductions
to functional analysis, measure theory, Lebesgue integration,
function spaces, and so on, but most are limited (naturally)
to presenting but the most cursory of outlines.
[Q.] What texts have YOU found to be most helpful on the above
topics if your background is engineering/physical sciences,
i.e. not mathematics?
Thanks,
Thomas.

I am a physicist.  I found the following texts to be most helpful:
        Newland D E 1994 An Introduction to Random Vibrations, Spectral and
        Koornwinder, T H 1993 Wavelets: An Elementary Treatment in Theory
        and Applications (World Scientific, Singapore)
        Rioul O and Vetterli M 1991 Wavelets and Signal Processing in IEEE
        Signal Processing Magazine pp14-38
        Chui C K 1992 An Introduction to Wavelets (Academic Press)
In addition, I have presented a short 
<li><a href="http://www.pd.uwa.edu.au/Physics/Courses/Honours/Modules/wavelets.html">
course on Wavelets:</a><br>
The lecture notes are available as a Mathematica Notebook and there are
links at this page to other wavelets resources.
In addition, I have found the Mathematica Wavelet Explorer package:
        http://store.wolfram.com/view/wavelet/
to be very helpful.
Cheers,
        Paul

you sure you need the maths, that is, as a basis for wavelets, rather
than additional personal fulfillment.
I, also a (humble) engineer, like the following:
@Article{stollnitza,
author="E.J. Stollnitz and T.D. DeRose and D.H. Salesin",
year=1995,
title="Wavelets for computer graphics: a primer, Part 1",
journal= "IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications",
month="May"
}
 [BTW NB. the typo. on p. 78
the eqn. should read
        psi_i^j := psi(2^j-i), i=0,...]
@Article{stollnitzb,
author="E.J. Stollnitz and T.D. DeRose and D.H. Salesin",
year=1995,
title="Wavelets for computer graphics: a primer, Part 2",
journal= "IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications",
}
@Book{castleman,
  author =       "K.R. Castleman",
  title =        "Digital Image Processing",
  publisher =    "Prentice Hall",
  year =         "1996",
  OPTedition =   "3rd."
}
We recently had a seminar given by a guy called Colm Mulcahy who gave a
most accessible introduction to wavelets -- using no more than linear
algebra; apparently some documents and Matlab m-files available at
<li><a href="ttp://www.spelman.edu/~colm"> www.spelman.edu/~colm </a><br> .
Amongst the books he recommended were:
Burrus, Gopinath and Guo, Introduction to Wavelets and Wavelet
Transforms -- a Primer, Prentice Hall, 1998
Barbara Burke Hubbard, The World According to Wavelets, 2nd ed., A.K.
Stollnitz, DeRose and Salesin, Wavelets for Computer Graphics, Morgan
Kaufmann, 1996.
Hope this helps,
Jon Campbell
