In this thesis, we generalize the classical discrete wavelet transform, and construct wavelet transforms that are shift-invariant, time-varying, undecimated, and signal dependent. The result is a set of powerful and efficient ...

The SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) is a critical matrix factorization in many real-time computations from an application domain which includes signal processing and robotics; and complex data matrices are encountered ...

Since the I/O subsystem is the bottleneck in external mergesort, I/O parallelism can result in substantial performance improvements. Concurrency can be introduced by overlapping I/O requests at different disks, and the ...

The optimal detector for a binary detection problem under a variety of criteria is the likelihood ratio test. Despite this simple characterization of the detector, analytic performance analysis in most cases is difficult ...
