Klappentext

During his long and distinguished career, J. Rowland Higgins (1935-2020) made a substantial impact on many mathematical fields through his work on sampling theory, his deep knowledge of its history, and his service to the community. This volume is a tribute to his work and legacy, featuring chapters written by distinguished mathematicians that explore cutting-edge research in sampling, approximation, signal analysis, and other related areas. An introductory chapter provides a biography of Higgins that explores his rich and unique life, along with a bibliography of his papers; a brief history of the SampTA meetings of which he was a Founding Member is also included. The remaining articles are grouped into four sections classical sampling, theoretical extensions, frame theory, and applications of sampling theory and explore Higgins contributions to these areas, as well as some of the latest developments.
