New submissions to the thesis/dissertation collections are added automatically as they are received from the Graduate School. Currently, the Graduate School deposits all theses and dissertations from a given semester after the official graduation date. This means that there may be up to a 4 month delay in the appearance of a give thesis/dissertation in DRUM

    Enumeration of Harmonic Frames and Frame Based Dimension Reduction
    (2009) Hirn, Matthew John; Benedetto, John J; Okoudjou, Kasso A; Mathematics; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    We investigate two aspects of frame theory, one of a theoretical nature, the other very much on the applied side. In the former, we enumerate all harmonic frames of prime order, and develop partial proofs concerning the structure of the symmetry group for this subset of frames. In the latter, we develop frame theory in the context of kernel eigenmap methods, merging the two theories in a practical manner and applying new algorithms to hyperspectral imagery data for the purposes of material classification. These two problems, while seemingly separate, are united by frame theory and serve to illustrate both the beautiful theoretical nature of frames as well as their practicality in dealing with real world problems.
