>>> EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing Special Issue on Frames and Overcomplete Representations in Signal Processing, Communications, and Information Theory Many problems in signal processing, communications, and information theory deal with linear signal expansions. The corresponding basis functions usually constitute a nonredundant set. It is well known that the use of redundancy in engineering systems improves robustness and numerical stability. Motivated by this observation, the use of redundant linear signal expansions (a.k.a. ?frames? or ?overcomplete representations?) has found widespread use in many different engineering disciplines. Recent examples include sampling theory, A/D conversion, oversampled filter banks, multiple description source coding, error correcting codes, wavelet- and frame-based denoising, quantum detection and estimation, and space-time coding for wireless communications. This special issue aims to present survey papers on frame theory and its applications and to bring together original contributions from the different areas mentioned above containing original applications of frame theory. Prospective papers should be unpublished and present novel contributions, either in terms of fundamental research or from an applications perspective, or should be of survey nature. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): o Sampling theory, A/D conversion o Source coding, in particular, multipledescription source coding o Oversampled filter bank theory and design o Error correcting codes o Wavelet- and frame-based denoising o Quantum detection and estimation o Space-time coding and modulation o Sigma-delta modulation o OFDM systems o Linear time-varying system theory o Sparse representations Authors should follow the EURASIP JASP manuscript format described at the journal site http://asp.hindawi.com/.
