Abstract. Applied harmonic analysis and sparse approximation are highly active research areas with a lot of recent exciting developments. Their meth-ods have become crucial for a wide range of applications in technology and science, such as signal and image processing. Understanding of the underlying mathematics has grown vastly. Interestingly, there are a lot of connections to other fields, such as convex optimization, probability theory and Banach space geometry. Yet, many problems in these areas remain unsolved or even unattacked. The workshop intended to bring together world leading experts in these areas, to report on recent developments, and to foster new develop
