Homework Assignments [.ps], [.dvi]
TOPICS: Uncertainty Principle. Short-Time Fourier Transform. Quadratic Time-frequency representations. Frame theory. Theory of Gabor frames. Theory of Affine frames (Wavelet frames). Shift-invariant spaces. Pseudodifferential Operators.

TEXTBOOK: Most of the lectures will follow: K. Groechenig, Foundations of Time-Frequency Analysis, Birkauser. Other useful reference is H.G. Feichtinger and T, Strohmer Gabor Analysis and Algorithms . Additional material will be provided in class.

HOMEWORK: Homework problems will be assigned each week and posted on this page at the link above. Please, return your solutions to the instructor by the due date by the end of class. Please, make special effort to make your proofs rigorous and easy to follow. Your homework will be judged for correctness and clarity.

EXAMINATIONS: There will be one MIDTERM EXAM on Tue October 15.
The (take home) FINAL EXAM will be handed in on Tue December 8. GRADING: The homework will count 35% towards the final grade, the midterm exam will count 30% and the final exam will count 35% towards the final grade.

OFFICE HOURS: My office is in Cupples I, room 112 A. Office hours are Tuesday and Thursday 2:30-3:30 and . If you want to reach me or schedule an appointment at a different time, please, talk to me at the end of the class or contact me by e-mail at: dlabate@math.wustl.edu
