                 The Solution of Energy Concentration Problem and
                 Associated Wavelet Systems

                 In the context of harmonic analysis, the uncertainty
                 principle implies that a nonzero signal cannot possess
                 finite duration in time domain and finite bandwidth in
                 frequency domain simultaneously. However, among all
                 possible functions with a given finite bandwidth, one can
                 ask which function maximizes the energy over the
                 prescribed time interval. Prolate spheroidal wave
                 functions (PSWFs) are special functions that lead to the
                 optimal solutions of this energy concentration problem. In
                 this talk, we will recall the energy concentration problem
                 and then focus on the construction of wavelet-like systems
                 associated with PSWFs.  The new system retains not only
                 multiscale structure of wavelets but also preserve the
                 high energy concentration property inherited from PSWFs.
