An Introduction to Finite Tight Frames

This textbook is an introduction to the theory and applications of finite tight frames, an area that has developed rapidly in the last decade. Stimulating much of this growth are the applications of finite frames to diverse fields such as signal processing, quantum information theory, multivariate orthogonal polynomials, and remote sensing.

The first book entirely devoted to finite frames, it features extensive exercises and MATLAB examples for classroom use, important examples, and numerous illustrations. The book provides an overview of the field of finite tight frames and discusses future research directions in the field.

The book is well suited as a textbook for a graduate course or seminar involving finite frames. The self-contained, user-friendly presentation also makes the work useful as a self-study resource or reference for graduate students, instructors, researchers, and practitioners in pure and applied mathematics, engineering, mathematical physics, and signal processing.
