Research Summary

A spline space is a collection of `good' functions that you want to consider for approximating others, and which satisfies certain properties, such as being piecewise-polynomials/piecewise-exponentials, being spanned by compactly supported functions, or easily computable. At present I am interested in the model where the space of approximants is a linear space of functions of several variables and is assumed to be invariant under integer translations. My most recent work is concerned with the application of this model in the context of:

(1) Constructions of wavelet systems tailored for specific applications (such as data compression or feature detection).

(2) Useful methods for approximating scattered data in several dimensions.
