The general theme of this RFG is to introduce students to recent advances in the field of numerical computation, and the application of numerical techniques to problems in mathematics and engineering. The focus of this RFG will be on band-limited functions and fast algorithms, both of which are closely linked to numerical linear algebra, another active research area pursued at our department. In addition, application of numerical techniques in problems in signal processing, image processing, will be included.

Reading Seminar on Band-Limited Methods and Fast Algorithms (Organized by Professor Hong Xiao)

In this reading seminar, we will focus on mathematical theory and associated algorithms for approximation, interpolation, integration, and reconstruction of functions with the aid of band-limited functions (that is, functions with compactly supported Fourier transforms). Our motivation comes from the increasing need of accurate and fast numerical algorithms for problems in communication, signal processing, and data analysis.
