Summer School

Inzell, Germany, 17 – 21 September 2012 

Harmonic analysis studies problems related to series expansions of functions using trigonometric bases. The theory forms the core for such diverse areas as singular integral theory, approximation and sampling theory, etc. Moreover, harmonic analysis can be thought of as the mathematical backbone for a large number of modern methods in signal and image analysis.

Recently, focus has been placed on the detection and classification of singularities in images possessing fractional or fractal characteristics. Therefore, investigations center on fractional operator-­like bases acting as multiscale versions of derivatives. This new methodology needs to firmly embed into the existing classical concepts of harmonic analysis, and the relations to image analysis have to be established and unified.

To achieve the greatest possible synergy between the areas of harmonic analysis, fractional operator theory and image analysis, we have invited highly renowned researchers from these fields.

The goal of the school is to bring together young researchers and a distinguished group of scientists whose lectures are intended to establish new and exciting directions for future investigations.
