Frames and Phaseless Reconstruction
  Frame design for phaseless reconstruction is now part of the broader problem of nonlinear reconstruction and is an emerging topic in harmonic analysis. The problem of phaseless reconstruction can be simply stated as follows. Given the magnitudes of the coefficients generated by a linear redundant system (frame), we want to reconstruct the unknown input. This problem first occurred in X-ray crystallography starting in the early 20th century. The same nonlinear reconstruction problem shows up in speech processing, particularly in speech recognition.   In this lecture we shall cover existing analysis results as well as stability bounds for signal recovery including: necessary and sufficient conditions for injectivity, Lipschitz bounds of the nonlinear map and its left inverses, stochastic performance bounds, and algorithms for signal recovery.
