Course detail

Applied Harmonic Analysis

FSI-9AHA Acad. year: 2025/2026 Summer semester

General theory of generating systems in Hilbert spaces: orthonormal bases (ONB), Riesz bases (RB), frames and reproducing kernels.
The associated operators (for reconstruction, discretization, etc.). Properties and characterization theorems. Canonical duality. Useful constructions and algorithms based on the application of the theory of pseudoinverse operators. Special frames (Gabor and wavelet) and their applications.

Language of instruction

Czech

Entry knowledge

Linear algebra, differential and integration calculus, linear functional analysis.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Seminar presentations and/or oral examination.
Absence has to be made up by self-study and possibly via assigned homework.

Aims

The PhD students will be made familiar with the latest achievements of the modern harmonic analysis and their applicability for the solution of practical problems of functional modeling in abstract spaces, in particular in l^2(J) (the space of discrete signals incl. images), L^2(R) (the space of analog signals) and L^2(Omega;A;P) (stochastic linear time series models).
Attention will be paid also to the problems of finding numerically stable sparse solutions in models with a large number of parameters.
Getting basic theoretical knowledge in modern harmonic analysis. Attaining practical skills which will allow the PhD students to use all these approaches effectively in computer-aided modeling and research of real systems.
