Currently, new trends in mathematics are emerging from the fruitful interaction between signal processing, image processing, and classical analysis. One example is given by "wavelets", which incorporate both the know-how of the Calderon-Zygmund school and the efficiency of some fast algorithms developed in signal processing (quadrature mirror filters and pyramidal algorithms.) A second example is "multi-fractal analysis". The initial motivation was the study of fully developed turbulence and the introduction by Frisch and Parisi of the multi-fractal spectrum. Multi-fractal analysis provides a deeper insight into many classical functions in mathematics. A third example---"chirps"---is studied in this book. Chirps are used in modern radar or sonar technology. Once given a precise mathematical definition, chirps constitute a powerful tool in classical analysis. In this book, wavelet analysis is related to the 2-microlocal spaces discovered by J. M. Bony. The authors then prove that a wavelet based multi-fractal analysis leads to a remarkable improvement of Sobolev embedding theorem. In addition, they show that chirps were hidden in a celebrated Riemann series. Features: Provides the reader with some basic training in new lines of research. Clarifies the relationship between pointwise behavior and size properties of wavelet coefficents.

<p>This long-awaited update of Meyer's Wavelets: Algorithms and Applications includes completely new chapters on four topics: wavelets and the study of turbulence, wavelets and fractals (which includes an analysis of Riemann's nondifferentiable function), data compression, and wavelets in astronomy. The chapter on data compression was the original motivation for this revised edition, and it contains up-to-date information on the interplay between wavelets and nonlinear approximation. The other chapters have been rewritten with comments, references, historical notes, and new material. Four appendices have been added: a primer on filters, key results (with proofs) about the wavelet transform, a complete discussion of a counterexample to the Marr-Mallat conjecture on zero-crossings, and a brief introduction to Hölder and Besov spaces. In addition, all of the figures have been redrawn, and the references have been expanded to a comprehensive list of over 260 entries. The book includes several new results that have not appeared elsewhere.</p>
