Modern sampling theory. Mathematics and applications (Q5932236)

This book consists of 17 chapters devoted to various aspects of modern sampling theory. Each chapter is written by a different set of authors, but all references are grouped in a single bibliographic listing at the end of the book. The book also has a comprehensive alphabetical index. The first chapter, titled ``Introduction'', was written by \textit{J. J. Benedetto} and \textit{P. J. S. G. Ferreira}. A major feature is Chapter 2, which is \textit{V. E. Katsnelson}'s English translation from the Russian of \textit{V. A. Kotel'nikov}'s classical sampling paper, ``On the transmission capacity of the ``ether'' and wire in electrocommunications''. This paper was presented at the First All-Union Conference on Questions of Communication [Izd. Red. Upr. Svyazi RKKA, Moscow (1933)]. The rest of the book is divided into three parts, under the headings ``Sampling, wavelets, and the uncertainty principle'' (Chapters 3 through 6), ``Sampling topics from mathematical analysis'' (Chapters 7 through 11), and ``Sampling tools and applications'' (Chapters 12 through 17). Chapter 3, by \textit{Gilbert G. Walter}, is ``Wavelets and sampling''. It explores the theme of obtaining sampling theorems in the context of Sobolev spaces and other distribution spaces. In Chapter 4, ``Embeddings and uncertainty principles for generalized modulation spaces'', \textit{J. A. Hogan} and \textit{J. D. Lakey} deal with two classical themes: the interplay between uncertainty principle inequalities, weighted norm inequalities for the Fourier transform, and embedding theorems for modulation spaces on the one hand; and their interpretations in terms of localization of energy in the time-frequency plane, on the other. ``Sampling theory for certain Hilbert spaces of bandlimited functions'' by \textit{Jean-Pierre Gabardo} is Chapter 5. It relates sampling theory to the problem of extending a positive-definite continuous function on an interval \((-R, R)\) to one defined and positive-definite on the whole real line. \textit{Ahmed I. Zayed}'s Chapter 6, ``Shannon-type wavelets and the convergence of their associated wavelet series'', studies a class of wavelets that contains the Shannon wavelet as a special case and that shares its special properties. The generalization is in the well-known context of obtaining the Shannon wavelet from the multiresolution analysis constructed with the sinc sampling function being used as the scaling function. \textit{Karlheinz Gröchenig}'s Chapter 7, ``Non-uniform sampling in higher dimensions: from trigonometric polynomials to bandlimited functions'' employs interpolation and approximation by trigonometric polynomials for the correct finite-dimensional discretization of the sampling problem for bandlimited functions in higher dimensions. \textit{Rodolfo H. Torres}' title ``The analysis of oscillatory behaviour in signals through their samples'' (Chapter 8) aptly describes the material. In practice, it is desirable to measure oscillations directly from signal samples. This explains the usefulness of sampling theory for this topic. Chapter 9 by \textit{Stephen Casey} and \textit{David Walnut} is ``Residue and sampling techniques in deconvolution''. A guiding principle is that many problems in harmonic analysis can be translated into interpolation problems in spaces of functions subject to growth conditions. In Chapter 10, ``Sampling theorems from the iteration of low order differential operators'', \textit{J. R. Higgins} suggests a new direction in the procedure by which a sampling series is derived from sampling operators. \textit{Andi Kivinukk}'s Chapter 11, ``Approximation of continuous functions by Rogosinski-type sampling series'', studies the approximation properties of sampling operators of the form \[ (S_Wf)(t) := \sum_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(k/W) s(Wt-k). \] Chapter 12, by \textit{David Potts}, \textit{Gabriele Steidl} and \textit{Manfred Tasche}, is ``Fast Fourier transforms for nonequispaced data: a tutorial''. It discusses fast and robust algorithms for computing discrete Fourier expansions similar to \[ f(v_j)= \sum_{k \in I_N} f_k e^{-i2\pi x_kv_j} \quad(j \in I_M), \] where \[ I_k= \left \{n \in Z^d: -K/2 \leq n \leq K/2 \right \}. \] ``Efficient minimum rate sampling of signals with frequency support over non-commensurable sets'' by \textit{Cormac Herley} and \textit{Ping Wah Wong} is Chapter 13. The chapter addresses the fact that sampling of narrow band bandpass or multiband signals using the Classical Sampling Theorem, at twice the highest frequency, entails considerable loss of efficiency. In Chapter 14, ``Finite- and infinite-dimensional models for oversampled filter banks'', \textit{Thomas Strohmer} discusses the relation between certain finite-dimensional models used for numerical procedures and infinite-dimensional filter bank theory. Chapter 15, ``Statistical aspects of sampling for noisy and grouped data'', was written by \textit{M. Pawlak} and \textit{U. Stadtmüller}, and it deals with the problem of recovering a bandlimited signal from noisy and grouped samples. In Chapter 16, ``Reconstruction of MRI images from non-uniform sampling and its application to intrascan motion correction in functional MRI'', \textit{Marc Bourgeois}, \textit{Frank T. A. W. Wajer}, \textit{Dirk van Ormondt} and \textit{Daniele Graveron-Demilly} give a brief survey of the basic physical principles underlying Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Finally, Chapter 17, ``Efficient sampling of the rotation invariant Radon transform'', by \textit{Laurent Desbat} and \textit{Catherine Mennessier}, is also connected with tomography, and it extends results on multidimensional sampling to the rotation invariant Radon transform.
