This book represents the first attempt at a unified picture for the pres­ ence of the Gibbs (or Gibbs-Wilbraham) phenomenon in applications, its analysis and the different methods of filtering it out. The analysis and filtering cover the familiar Gibbs phenomenon in Fourier series and integral representations of functions with jump discontinuities. In ad­ dition it will include other representations, such as general orthogonal series expansions, general integral transforms, splines approximation, and continuous as well as discrete wavelet approximations. The mate­ rial in this book is presented in a manner accessible to upperclassmen and graduate students in science and engineering, as well as researchers who may face the Gibbs phenomenon in the varied applications that in­ volve the Fourier and the other approximations of functions with jump discontinuities. Those with more advanced backgrounds in analysis will find basic material, results, and motivations from which they can begin to develop deeper and more general results. We must emphasize that the aim of this book (the first on the sUbject): to satisfy such a diverse audience, is quite difficult. In particular, our detailed derivations and their illustrations for an introductory book may very well sound repeti­ tive to the experts in the field who are expecting a research monograph. To answer the concern of the researchers, we can only hope that this book will prove helpful as a basic reference for their research papers.

This is the first book dedicated to covering the basic elements of the Gibbs phenomenon as it appears in various applications where functions with jump discontinuities are represented. It is presented with detailed analysis and illustrations combined with historical information. The author covers the appearance of the Gibbs phenomenon in Fourier analysis, orthogonal expansions, integral transforms, splines and wavelet approximations. Methods of reducing, or filtering out, such phenomena that cover all the above function representations are also addressed. The book includes a thorough bibliography of some 350 references. Audience: The work is intended as an introduction for engineering and scientific practitioners in the fields where this phenomenon may appear in their use of various function representations. It may also be used by qualified students.
