This book considers signal processing and physical modeling meth
ods for sound synthesis. Such methods are useful for example in mu
sic synthesizers, computer sound cards, and computer games.
Physical modeling synthesis has been commercialized for the first
time about 10 years ago. Recently, it has been one of the most
active research topics in musical acoustics and computer music. The
authors of this book, Dr. Lutz Trautmann and Dr. Rudolf Rabenstein,
are active researchers and inventors in the field of sound
synthesis. Together they have developed a new synthesis technique,
called the functional transformation method, which can be used for
pro ducing musical sound in real time. Before this book, they have
published over 20 papers on the topic in journals and conference
proceedings. In this excellent textbook, the results are combined
in a single volume. I believe that this will be considered an
important step forward for the whole community.

This book covers the theory of multidimensional signals and systems
and related practical aspects. It extends the properties and
mathematical tools of one-dimensional signals and systems to
multiple dimensions and covers relevant timeless topics including
multidimensional transformations, multidimensional sampling as well
as discrete multidimensional systems. A special emphasis is placed
on physical systems described by partial differential equations,
the construction of suitable integral transformations and the
implementation of the corresponding discrete-time algorithms. To
this end, signal spaces and functional transformations are
introduced at a mathematical level provided by undergraduate
programs in engineering and science. The presentation takes a
comprehensive, illustrative and educational approach without
reference to a particular application field. Instead, the book
builds a solid theoretical concept of multidimensional signals and
systems and shows the application to various problems relevant for
practical scenarios.
