Featuring traditional coverage as well as new research results that, until now, have been scattered throughout the professional literature, this book brings togetherâin simple languageâthe basic ideas and methods that have been developed to study natural and man-made signals whose frequency content changes with timeâe.g., speech, sonar and radar, optical images, mechanical vibrations, acoustic signals, biological/biomedical and geophysical signals. Covers time analysis, frequency analysis, and scale analysis; time-bandwidth relations; instantaneous frequency; densities and local quantities; the short time Fourier Transform; time-frequency analysis; the Wigner representation; time-frequency representations; computation methods; the synthesis problem; spatial-spatial/frequency representations; time-scale representations; operators; general joint representations; stochastic signals; and higher order time-frequency distributions. Illustrates each concept with examples and shows how the methods have been extended to other variables, such as scale. For engineers, acoustic scientists, medical scientists and developers, mathematicians, physicists, and mangers working in the fields of acoustics, sonar, radar, image processing, biomedical devices, communication.

Hard Ball Systems and the Lorentz Gas

Hard Ball Systems and the Lorentz Gas are fundamental models arising in the theory of Hamiltonian dynamical systems. Moreover, in these models, some key laws of statistical physics can also be tested or even established by mathematically rigorous tools. The mathematical methods are most beautiful but sometimes quite involved. This collection of surveys written by leading researchers of the fields – mathematicians, physicists or mathematical physicists – treat both mathematically rigourous results, and evolving physical theories where the methods are analytic or computational. Some basic topics: hyperbolicity and ergodicity, correlation decay, Lyapunov exponents, Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, entropy production, irreversibility. This collection is a unique introduction into the subject for graduate students, postdocs or researchers – in both mathematics and physics – who want to start working in the field.
Comparisons of Stochastic Matrices with Applications in Information Theory, Statistics, Economics and Population

Focuses on generalizing the notion of variation in a set of numbers to the notion of variation in a set of probability distributions. The work collects known ways of comparing stochastic matrices, and then generalizes these, and establishes the relations of implication or equivalence among some.
