Abstract:

We will describe the construction of wavelets (including the recent development of lifting schemes) and we will discuss their applications in data compression and scientific computing. It is natural to compare the properties of the wavelet basis with the Fourier basis -- and especially with the Discrete Cosine Transform (and the question of boundary conditions that is central in so many applications). The choice of a basis, in other words the decision on how to represent the signal or the image or the solution, is fundamental.
