Transforms and Applications Handbook

Written to be accessible to readers from different backgrounds, this hefty handbook presents worked-out mathematical transforms commonly used by engineers, scientists, and mathematicians. After an introduction to signals and systems, including properties of the delta function and some classical orthogonal functions, the book provides examples and applications of numerous transforms. Six reference appendices are also provided. This third edition adds coverage of transforms including finite Hankel transforms, Legendre transforms, Jacobi and Gengenbauer transforms, fraction Fourier transforms, Zak transforms, multidimensional discrete unitary transforms, and Hilbert-Huang transforms. The book is for electrical and communication engineers and mathematicians. Poularikas is chairman of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Alabama.
