This monograph offers a self-contained introduction to pseudodifferential operators and wavelets over real and p-adic fields. Aimed at graduate students and researchers interested in harmonic analysis over local fields, the topics covered in this book include pseudodifferential operators of principal type and of variable order, semilinear degenerate pseudodifferential boundary value problems (BVPs), non-classical pseudodifferential BVPs, wavelets and Hardy spaces, wavelet integral operators, and wavelet solutions to Cauchy problems over the real field and the p-adic field.

A wide-ranging 2010 survey of new and important topics in p-adic analysis for researchers and graduate students.

This book provides an overview of the theory of p-adic (and more general non-Archimedean) dynamical systems. The main part of the book is devoted to discrete dynamical systems. It presents a model of probabilistic thinking on p-adic mental space based on ultrametric diffusion. Coverage also details p-adic neural networks and their applications to cognitive sciences: learning algorithms, memory recalling.

Provides a novel interdisciplinary perspective on the state of the art of ultrametric pseudodifferential equations and their applications.

Focusing on p-adic and adelic analogues of pseudodifferential equations, this monograph presents a very general theory of parabolic-type equations and their Markov processes motivated by their connection with models of complex hierarchic systems. The Gelfand-Shilov method for constructing fundamental solutions using local zeta functions is developed in a p-adic setting and several particular equations are studied, such as the p-adic analogues of the Klein-Gordon equation. Pseudodifferential equations for complex-valued functions on non-Archimedean local fields are central to contemporary harmonic analysis and mathematical physics and their theory reveals a deep connection with probability and number theory. The results of this book extend and complement the material presented by Vladimirov, Volovich and Zelenov (1994) and Kochubei (2001), which emphasize spectral theory and evolution equations in a single variable, and Albeverio, Khrennikov and Shelkovich (2010), which deals mainly with the theory and applications of p-adic wavelets.

This textbook is an introduction to wavelet transforms and accessible to a larger audience with diverse backgrounds and interests in mathematics, science, and engineering.

Topics and Features: * This second edition heavily reworks the chapters on Extensions of Multiresolution Analysis and Newlands’s Harmonic Wavelets and introduces a new chapter containing new applications of wavelet transforms * Uses knowledge of Fourier transforms, some elementary ideas of Hilbert spaces, and orthonormal systems to develop the theory and applications of wavelet analysis * Offers detailed and clear explanations of every concept and method, accompanied by carefully selected worked examples, with special emphasis given to those topics in which students typically experience difficulty * Includes carefully chosen end-of-chapter exercises directly associated with applications or formulated in terms of the mathematical, physical, and engineering context and provides answers to selected exercises for additional help Mathematicians, physicists, computer engineers, and electrical and mechanical engineers will find Wavelet Transforms and Their Applications an exceptionally complete and accessible text and reference. It is also suitable as a self-study or reference guide for practitioners and professionals.

This book discusses the theory of wavelets on local fields of positive characteristic. The discussion starts with a thorough introduction to topological groups and local fields. It then provides a proof of the existence and uniqueness of Haar measures on locally compact groups. It later gives several examples of locally compact groups and describes their Haar measures. The book focuses on multiresolution analysis and wavelets on a local field of positive characteristic. It provides characterizations of various functions associated with wavelet analysis such as scaling functions, wavelets, MRA-wavelets and low-pass filters. Many other concepts which are discussed in details are biorthogonal wavelets, wavelet packets, affine and quasi-affine frames, MSF multiwavelets, multiwavelet sets, generalized scaling sets, scaling sets, unconditional basis properties of wavelets and shift invariant spaces.

The mutual influence between mathematics and science and technology is becoming more and more widespread with profound connections among them being discovered. In particular, important connections between harmonic analysis, wavelet analysis and p-adic analysis have been found recently. This volume reports these findings and guides the reader towards the latest areas for further research. It is divided into two parts: harmonic, wavelet and p-adic analysis and p-adic and stochastic analysis.

This multi-volume handbook is the most up-to-date and comprehensive reference work in the field of fractional calculus and its numerous applications. This first volume collects authoritative chapters covering the mathematical theory of fractional calculus, including fractional-order operators, integral transforms and equations, special functions, calculus of variations, and probabilistic and other aspects.

This volume contains the Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on p-adic Functional Analysis, held from August 12–16, 2014, at the University of Paderborn, Paderborn, Germany. The articles included in this book feature recent developments in various areas of non-Archimedean analysis, non-Archimedean functional analysis, representation theory, number theory, non-Archimedean dynamical systems and applications. Through a combination of new research articles and survey papers, this book provides the reader with an overview of current developments and techniques in non-Archimedean analysis as well as a broad knowledge of some of the sub-areas of this exciting and fast-developing research area.
