Applied Harmonic Analysis (FSI-9AHA)

Academic year 2022/2023
Supervisor: prof. Aleksandre Lomtatidze, DrSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚM all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech or English
Aims of the course unit:
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.
Learning outcomes and competences:
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.
Prerequisites:
Linear algebra, differential and integration calculus, linear functional analysis.
Course contents:
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.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures and/or seminars targeted at selected topics of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Seminar presentations and/or oral examination.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Absence has to be made up by self-study and possibly via assigned homework.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  10 × 2 hrs. optionally
