   <dcterms:abstract>In this thesis we study a novel approach to stable recovery of unknown compactly supported&#xd;
L2 functions from finitely many nonuniform samples of their Fourier transform,&#xd;
so-called Nonuniform Generalized Sampling (NUGS). This framework is based on a recently&#xd;
introduced idea of generalized sampling for stable sampling and reconstruction in&#xd;
abstract Hilbert spaces, which allows one to tailor the reconstruction space to suit the function&#xd;
to be approximated and thereby obtain rapidly-convergent approximations. While&#xd;
preserving this important hallmark, NUGS describes sampling by the use of weighted&#xd;
Fourier frames, thus allowing for highly nonuniform sampling schemes with the points&#xd;
taken arbitrarily close. The particular setting of NUGS directly corresponds to various&#xd;
image recovery models ubiquitous in applications such as magnetic resonance imaging,&#xd;
computed tomography and electron microscopy, where Fourier samples are often taken&#xd;
not necessarily on a Cartesian grid, but rather along spiral trajectories or radial lines.&#xd;
Specifically, NUGS provides stable recovery in a desired reconstruction space subject&#xd;
to sufficient sampling density and sufficient sampling bandwidth, where the latter depends&#xd;
solely on the particular reconstruction space. For univariate compactly supported&#xd;
wavelets, we show that only a linear scaling between the number of wavelets and the&#xd;
sampling bandwidth is both sufficient and necessary for stable recovery. Furthermore, in&#xd;
the wavelet case, we provide an efficient implementation of NUGS for recovery of wavelet&#xd;
coefficients from Fourier data. Additionally, the sufficient relation between the dimension&#xd;
of the reconstruction space and the bandwidth of the nonuniform samples is analysed&#xd;
for the reconstruction spaces of piecewise polynomials or splines with a nonequidistant&#xd;
sequence of knots, and it is shown that this relation is also linear for splines and piecewise&#xd;
polynomials of fixed degree, but quadratic for piecewise polynomials of varying degree.&#xd;
In order to derive explicit guarantees for stable recovery from nonuniform samples in&#xd;
terms of the sampling density, we also study conditions sufficient to ensure existence of a&#xd;
particular frame. Firstly, we establish the sharp and dimensionless sampling density that&#xd;
is sufficient to guarantee a weighted Fourier frame for the space of multivariate compactly&#xd;
supported L2 functions. Furthermore, subject to non-sharp densities, we improve existing&#xd;
estimates of the corresponding frame bounds. Secondly, we provide sampling densities&#xd;
sufficient to ensure a frame, as well as, estimates of the corresponding frame bounds,&#xd;
when a multivariate bandlimited function and its derivatives are sampled at nonuniformly&#xd;
spaced points.</dcterms:abstract>
