The role of NUHAG

1. Develop efficient algorithms

of practical use in signal analysis and of mathematical interest;

Link pure mathematics with image processing

(proofs are seen as a guarantee of convergence, experimental insight leads to mathematical conjectures)

Interact with colleagues from various sciences

(build models based on mathematical and expert knowledge)

Provide background on new mathematical fields

(Gabor analysis, Wavelet theory, irregular sampling; with respect to both numerical and theoretical questions)

Attract foreign scientists for cooperation

joint projects with the Technion (Israel), Cambridge University (UK), Philips (Eindhoven), Beijing Normal University (China), to mention a few

Offer a stimulating research environment

to young mathematicians (electrical engineers, geophysicists, computer scientists,...) to learn about mathematical foundations, modelling, and implementations
