Strange as it may seem no reference is made to Laplace transforms in Rouse Ball's \A Short Account of the History of Mathematics". Rouse Ball does refer to Laplace's contribution to Probability Theory and his use of the generating function. Nowadays it is well-known that if Á(t) is the probability density in the distribution function of the variate t, where 0 · t < 1, then the expected value of est is the Moment Generating Function which is de¯ned by Z 1 M(s) = estÁ(t)dt: (1) 0 The term on the right hand side of (1) is, if we replace s by ¡s, the quantity that we now call the Laplace transform of the function Á(t). One of the earliest workers in the ¯eld of Laplace transforms was J.M. Petzval (1807-1891) although he is best remembered for his work on optical lenses and aberration which paved the way for the construction of modern cameras. Petzval [167] wrote a two volume treatise on the Laplace transform and its application to ordinary linear di®erential equations. Because of this substantial contribu- tion the Laplace transform might well have been called the Petzval transform had not one of his students fallen out with him and accused him of plagiarising Laplace's work. Although the allegations were untrue it influenced Boole and Poincar`eto call the transformation the Laplace transform. The full potential of the Laplace transform was not realised until Oliver Heavi- side (1850-1925) used his operational calculus to solve problems in electromag- netic theory. Heaviside's transform was a multiple of the Laplace transform and, given a transform, he devised various rules for ¯nding the original function but without much concern for rigour. If we consider the simple di®erential equation d2y + y = 1; t > 0 dt2 with initial conditions y(0) = y0(0) = 0 then Heaviside would write py for dy=dt, p2y for d2y=dt2 and so on. Thus the given equation is equivalent to (p2 + 1)y = 1; and the `operational solution' is 1 y ´ : p2 + 1 Expanding the right hand side in powers of 1=p we obtain 1 1 1 y ´ ¡ + ¡ ¢ ¢ ¢ : p2 p4 p6 PREFACE ix R R t 2 t 2 Heaviside regarded 1=p as equivalent to 0 1dt, i.e. t, 1=p as 0 tdt = t =2!, etc., so that the solution of the given di®erential equation is t2 t4 t6 y = ¡ + ¡ ¢ ¢ ¢ ; 2! 4! 6! which is readily identi¯ed with 1 ¡ cos t, the correct solution. For a di®erential equation of the form (again using the notation py = dy=dt; etc.) n n¡1 (a0p + a1p + ¢ ¢ ¢ + an¡1p + an)y = 1; satisfying ¯ r ¯ d y ¯ r ¯ = 0; r = 0; 1; ¢ ¢ ¢ ; n ¡ 1 dt t=0 Heaviside has the operational solution 1 y = ; Á(p) where we denote the nth degree polynomial by Á(p): If all the roots pr; r = 1; ¢ ¢ ¢ ; n of the nth degree algebraic equation Á(p) = 0 are distinct Heaviside gave the formula (known as the `Expansion Theorem') n 1 X epr t y = + : (2) Á(0) p Á0(p ) r=0 r r Compare this to (1.23). Carslaw and Jaeger [31] give examples of Heaviside's approach to solving partial di®erential equations where his approach is very haphazard. Curiously, in his obituaries, there is no reference to his pioneering work in the Operational Calculus. Bateman (1882-1944) seems to have been the ¯rst to apply the Laplace trans- form to solve integral equations in the early part of the 20th century. Based on notes left by Bateman, Erd¶elyi[78] compiled a table of integral transforms which contains many Laplace transforms. Bromwich (1875-1929), by resorting to the theory of functions of a complex variable helped to justify Heaviside's methods to some extent and lay a ¯rm foundation for operational methods. For the example given above he recognized that the solution of the second order equation could be expressed as Z γ+i1 1 pt dp y = e 2 ; 2¼i γ¡i1 p(p + 1) where γ > 0.

  • The Wavelet Tutorial Second Edition Part I by Robi Polikar
    THE WAVELET TUTORIAL SECOND EDITION PART I BY ROBI POLIKAR FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS & AN OVERVIEW OF THE WAVELET THEORY Welcome to this introductory tutorial on wavelet transforms. The wavelet transform is a relatively new concept (about 10 years old), but yet there are quite a few articles and books written on them. However, most of these books and articles are written by math people, for the other math people; still most of the math people don't know what the other math people are 1 talking about (a math professor of mine made this confession). In other words, majority of the literature available on wavelet transforms are of little help, if any, to those who are new to this subject (this is my personal opinion). When I first started working on wavelet transforms I have struggled for many hours and days to figure out what was going on in this mysterious world of wavelet transforms, due to the lack of introductory level text(s) in this subject. Therefore, I have decided to write this tutorial for the ones who are new to the topic. I consider myself quite new to the subject too, and I have to confess that I have not figured out all the theoretical details yet. However, as far as the engineering applications are concerned, I think all the theoretical details are not necessarily necessary (!). In this tutorial I will try to give basic principles underlying the wavelet theory. The proofs of the theorems and related equations will not be given in this tutorial due to the simple assumption that the intended readers of this tutorial do not need them at this time.

The popularity of using these transform is explained by the presence of fast algorithms that minimize the computational and hardware complexity of their implementation. A special place in the list of transforms is occupied by the forward and inverse discrete cosine transforms (FDCT and IDCT respectively). This article proposes a set of parallel algorithms for the fast implementation of FDCT/IDCT. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions is justified by the possibility of the factorization of the FDCT/IDCT matrices, which leads to a decrease in computational and implementation complexity. Some fully parallel FDCT/IDCT algorithms for small lengths N = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are presented. DOI: 10.3103/S0735272719110025 1. INTRODUCTION Traditional types of discrete orthogonal transforms such as discrete Fourier transform, discrete Hartley transform, discrete Walsh and Haar transform, Slant transform, discrete cosine transform (DCT) are important data processing tools [1].
