Wavelets through a looking glass2002

This book combining wavelets and the world of the spectrum focuses on recent developments in wavelet theory, emphasizing fundamental and relatively timeless techniques that have a geometric and spectral-theoretic flavor. The exposition is clearly motivated and unfolds systematically, aided by numerous graphics. Key features of the book: The important role of the spectrum of a transfer operator is studied * Excellent graphics show how wavelets depend on the spectra of the transfer operators * Key topics of wavelet theory are examined: connected components in the variety of wavelets, the geometry of winding numbers, the Galerkin projection method, classical functions of Weierstrass and Hurwitz and their role in describing the eigenvalue-spectrum of the transfer operator, isospectral families...
