The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) is funding a 3 research project in Nonlinear Subdivision Algorithms at the Institute of Geometry at TU Graz for three years. Subdivision broadly means the refinement of discrete data with the aim at smooth limits and has applications in geometric modeling as well as wavelet theory. Literature for nonmathematicians is the paper www.geometrie.tugraz.at/wallner/sgsd.pdf . Literature for mathematicians: all papers on my website which contain subdivision in their title, e.g. www.geometrie.tugraz.at/wallner/grvar.pdf .

Applicants should have a masters degree in Mathematics and a good working knowledge of analysis. Skills in geometry, functional analysis, or even stochastic processes are very welcome. Knowledge of English is necessary. Candidates not yet authorized to work in EU will be considered only in exceptional circumstances.

If you are interested, please contact me until end of July 2007.
