Rank order signal processors, of which the median filter is a classic           example, offer properties that are in a general way compatible with             implementation and integrated circuitry.  In order to expand the areas          of applications of rank order signal processors, further theoretical            development is required and forms the basis of this research.  In               particular, the attainable input-output relations will be studied from          a theoretical point of view.  The methods of automata theory and signal         characterizations in terms of regular sets are used in an effective way         to solve this problem.
