Abstract

The International Conference on Computational Harmonic Analysis is held in conjunction with the 19th Shanks Lecture Series, featuring Steve Smale as the Shanks speaker. This conference plays a crucial role in impacting developments of science and technology based on computational harmonic analysis, identifying new trends, and providing an important common link to other scientific and engineering disciplines at large. The emphasis of the conference is on the state-of-the-art developments on such topics as learning theory, computational mathematics, and applications to signal/image processing, information technology, and life sciences. It is intended to highlight computational mathematics and its connections with interdisciplinary research areas, and brings researchers and graduate students together for in-depth discussions on all aspects of computational harmonic analysis. The field of computational harmonic analysis is a recently established and still fast growing area of mathematical analysis. It has been providing common links and tools to other areas of mathematical sciences, natural and life sciences, and engineering. New developments with a very broad spectrum of applications, such as wavelets, frames, radial basis functions, spline functions, curve and surface subdivisions, sampling, and learning theory, have found their mathematical home in computational harmonic analysis. This forum for interdisciplinary research is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
