The theory for frames and bases has developed rapidly in recent years because of its role as a mathematical tool in signal and image processing. This is the first comprehensive book to focus on the general properties and interplay of frames and Riesz bases, emphasizing their mathematical aspects. Rich in exercises, applications, and open problems, the work is aimed at graduate students and researchers in pure and applied mathematics, math physics, and engineering. Minimal prerequisites also make the book accessible to professionals working in digital signal processing who wish to understand the theory behind many modern signal processing tools.

From the reviews:

"The book is well written, the proofs are clear and not too terse, and the work is well suited for use as a textbook. The author has made many contributions to the theory of frames and Riesz bases, and the book benefits from his scope and perspective."   -Zentralblatt Math

"The book is a well-written and detailed course into the theory of bases and frames in Hilbert spaces. The composition is very clear, and the proofs are well achieved.... In the basic chapters, a large number of carefully chosen examples and exercises are included. That first part can be used in a graduate course. The material of the later chapters is more in the line of current research.... I recommend this book to graduate students and researchers working in pure and applied mathematics. It will appeal to an audience interested in the theory behind many signal processing tools stimulating further research."   -ZAA

"The last decade witnessed a significant change in the field of data representation, with the theory and applications of redundant representations taking center stage and becoming a central research topic in the areas of wavelet and Gabor representations. The specific topic of frame representations received particular attention and became a major theme for these efforts. [This book]...successfully summarizes that progress. Some of its chapters are basic, and are suitable for use in a graduate course in mathematics. Other chapters provide the specialist with a detailed up-to-date review of the state-of-the-art in the field. Other scientists, with more general interest in the area, might use the book as a general reference on the topic."   -Journal of Approximation Theory
