Abstract

The main purpose of this thesis is to summarize my research contributions for the fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctoral Degree of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. This is reflected by the writing style where I try to be as clear as possible which are my own contributions and how they are related to prior research. In addition, my main results are listed in the form of scientific statements at the end of the chapters outlining my own contributions.

My secondary goal with this work is to provide a coherent view on the various filter design techniques that I have developed with the hope that it can be useful for the broad signal processing community. Hence the choice of English language, and the textbook-like presentation with introductory chapters. Compared to the conference or journal papers where my results have been originally published, this format allows a more thorough description of the techniques, the inclusion of additional proofs, and finally sharing my thoughts on how these methods relate to each other and to the ones proposed in the literature.

What is this "Hung. Acad. Sci. thesis?"

I got quite a few questions from non-Hungarians what is thesis and why did I need to write it if I already had a Ph.D. back in 2006. In Hungary we have this second doctoral degree, called "MTA doktori". While there are surely tens of thousands of Ph.D. degrees out there in Hungary, around 2000 people have the MTA doctorate title in all sicences, including physics, engineering, medicine, biology, etc. out of a poulation of 10 million, and at most universities this "higher level" doctorate title is required for full professorship. For this a new thesis needs to be written that summarizes the new contributions made after the Ph.D. thesis.
