The main purpose of this paper was to study solutions of the heat equation in the setting of discrete Clifford analysis. More precisely we consider this equation with discrete space and continuous time. Thereby we focus on representations of solutions by means of dual Taylor series expansions. Furthermore we develop a discrete convolution theory, apply it to the inhomogeneous heat equation and construct solutions for the related Cauchy problem by means of heat polynomials
Abstract. The Radon transform Rf of functions f on SO(3) has recently been applied extensively in texture analysis, i.e. the analysis of preferred crystallographic orientation. In practice one has to determine the orientation probability density function f ∈ L 2 (SO(3)) from Rf ∈ L 2 (S 2 × S 2 ) which is known only on a discrete set of points. Since one has only partial information about Rf the inversion of the Radon transform becomes an ill-posed inverse problem. Motivated by this problem we define a new notion of the Radon transform Rf of functions f on general compact Lie groups and introduce two approximate inversion algorithms which utilize our previously developed generalized variational splines on manifolds. Our new algorithms fit very well to the application of Radon transform on SO(3) to texture analysis.
The paper at hand is concerned with creating a flexible wavelet theory on the three sphere S 3 and the rotation group SO(3). The theory of zonal functions and reproducing kernels will be used to develop conditions for an admissible wavelet. After explaining some preliminaries on group actions and some basics on approximation theory, we will prove reconstruction formulas of linear and bilinear wavelet transformed L 2 -functions on S 3 . Moreover, specific examples will be constructed and visualized. Second, we deal with the construction of wavelets on the rotation group SO(3). It will be shown that the Radon transform of a wavelet packet on SO(3) gives a wavelet packet on S 2 for every fixed detection direction.
