This textbook is a mathematical introduction to the theory of bases in Banach spaces, also weaving in the theory of bases in Hilbert spaces and generalizations of bases such as frames. A new impetus for the study of bases in Banach spaces has come from the rise of wavelet theory, and especially the theory of frames, which allow basis-like but possibly redundant expansions.

This is a text to learn from, with detailed explanations of abstract material that are usually explained with the remark "clearly ..." Covering abstract material with a high degree of relevance to a wide variety of modern topics, the book is primarily aimed at mathematicians, but will also encourage engineers to venture into new directions. Exercises at the end of each chapter make the work suitable as a textbook for a variety of graduate-level courses on bases and frames.

Klappentext

This textbook is a self-contained introduction to the abstract theory of bases and redundant frame expansions and their use in both applied and classical harmonic analysis. The four parts of the text take the reader from classical functional analysis and basis theory to modern time-frequency and wavelet theory. Extensive exercises complement the text and provide opportunities for learning-by-doing, making the text suitable for graduate-level courses. The self-contained presentation with clear proofs is accessible to graduate students, pure and applied mathematicians, and engineers interested in the mathematical underpinnings of applications.
