From Stationary to Nonstationary Processes: How Can We Extend the Spectral Analysis?

Prof. Bert Schreiber
Wayne State University, Mathematics Department

The classical theory of stationary random processes and fields is founded upon the fact that the covariance function of such a field has an associated spectral measure. This talk will focus on several approaches to dealing with classes of nonstationary processes. The classes we will discuss all have elements with some sort of spectral decomposition and all contain the stationary processes.
