+IFT -- Information Field Theory
+===============================
+
+Theoretical Background
+----------------------
+
+
+`Information Field Theory <http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/ift/>`_ [1]_ (IFT) is information theory, the logic of reasoning under uncertainty, applied to fields. A field can be any quantity defined over some space, e.g. the air temperature over Europe, the magnetic field strength in the Milky Way, or the matter density in the Universe. IFT describes how data and knowledge can be used to infer field properties. Mathematically it is a statistical field theory and exploits many of the tools developed for such. Practically, it is a framework for signal processing and image reconstruction.
+
+IFT is fully Bayesian. How else can infinitely many field degrees of freedom be constrained by finite data?
+
+It can be used without the knowledge of Feynman diagrams. There is a full toolbox of methods. It reproduces many known well working algorithms. This should be reassuring. And, there were certainly previous works in a similar spirit. Anyhow, in many cases IFT provides novel rigorous ways to extract information from data.
+
+.. tip:: An *in-a-nutshell introduction to information field theory* can be found in [2]_.

+Discretized continuum
+---------------------
+
+The representation of fields that are mathematically defined on a continuous space in a finite computer environment is a common necessity. The goal hereby is to preserve the continuum limit in the calculus in order to ensure a resolution independent discretization.
+
++-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
+| .. image:: images/42vs6.png | .. image:: images/42vs9.png |
+|     :width:  100 %          |     :width:  100 %          |
++-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
+
+Any partition of the continuous position space :math:`\Omega` (with volume :math:`V`) into a set of :math:`Q` disjoint, proper subsets :math:`\Omega_q` (with volumes :math:`V_q`) defines a pixelization,
+
+.. math::
+
+    \Omega &\quad=\quad \dot{\bigcup_q} \; \Omega_q \qquad \mathrm{with} \qquad q \in \{1,\dots,Q\} \subset \mathbb{N}
+    , \\
+    V &\quad=\quad \int_\Omega \mathrm{d}x \quad=\quad \sum_{q=1}^Q \int_{\Omega_q} \mathrm{d}x \quad=\quad \sum_{q=1}^Q V_q
+    .
+
+Here the number :math:`Q` characterizes the resolution of the pixelization and the continuum limit is described by :math:`Q \rightarrow \infty` and :math:`V_q \rightarrow 0` for all :math:`q \in \{1,\dots,Q\}` simultaneously. Moreover, the above equation defines a discretization of continuous integrals, :math:`\int_\Omega \mathrm{d}x \mapsto \sum_q V_q`.
+
+Any valid discretization scheme for a field :math:`{s}` can be described by a mapping,
+
+.. math::
+
+    s(x \in \Omega_q) \quad\mapsto\quad s_q \quad=\quad \int_{\Omega_q} \mathrm{d}x \; w_q(x) \; s(x)
+    ,
+
+if the weighting function :math:`w_q(x)` is chosen appropriately. In order for the discretized version of the field to converge to the actual field in the continuum limit, the weighting functions need to be normalized in each subset; i.e., :math:`\forall q: \int_{\Omega_q} \mathrm{d}x \; w_q(x) = 1`. Choosing such a weighting function that is constant with respect to :math:`x` yields
+
+.. math::
+
+    s_q = \frac{\int_{\Omega_q} \mathrm{d}x \; s(x)}{\int_{\Omega_q} \mathrm{d}x} = \left< s(x) \right>_{\Omega_q}
+    ,
+
+which corresponds to a discretization of the field by spatial averaging. Another common and equally valid choice is :math:`w_q(x) = \delta(x-x_q)`, which distinguishes some position :math:`x_q \in \Omega_q`, and evaluates the continuous field at this position,
+
+.. math::
+
+    s_q \quad=\quad \int_{\Omega_q} \mathrm{d}x \; \delta(x-x_q) \; s(x) \quad=\quad s(x_q)
+    .
+
+In practice, one often makes use of the spatially averaged pixel position, :math:`x_q = \left< x \right>_{\Omega_q}`. If the resolution is high enough to resolve all features of the signal field :math:`{s}`, both of these discretization schemes approximate each other, :math:`\left< s(x) \right>_{\Omega_q} \approx s(\left< x \right>_{\Omega_q})`, since they approximate the continuum limit by construction. (The approximation of :math:`\left< s(x) \right>_{\Omega_q} \approx s(x_q \in \Omega_q)` marks a resolution threshold beyond which further refinement of the discretization reveals no new features; i.e., no new information content of the field :math:`{s}`.)
+
+All operations involving position integrals can be normalized in accordance with the above definitions. For example, the scalar product between two fields :math:`{s}` and :math:`{u}` is defined as
+
+.. math::
+
+    {s}^\dagger {u} \quad=\quad \int_\Omega \mathrm{d}x \; s^*(x) \; u(x) \quad\approx\quad \sum_{q=1}^Q V_q^{\phantom{*}} \; s_q^* \; u_q^{\phantom{*}}
+    ,
+
+where :math:`\dagger` denotes adjunction and :math:`*` complex conjugation. Since the above approximation becomes an equality in the continuum limit, the scalar product is independent of the pixelization scheme and resolution, if the latter is sufficiently high.
+
+The above line of argumentation analogously applies to the discretization of operators. For a linear operator :math:`{A}` acting on some field :math:`{s}` as :math:`{A} {s} = \int_\Omega \mathrm{d}y \; A(x,y) \; s(y)`, a matrix representation discretized with constant weighting functions is given by
+
+.. math::
+
+    A(x \in \Omega_p, y \in \Omega_q) \quad\mapsto\quad A_{pq} \quad=\quad \frac{\iint_{\Omega_p \Omega_q} \mathrm{d}x \, \mathrm{d}y \; A(x,y)}{\iint_{\Omega_p \Omega_q} \mathrm{d}x \, \mathrm{d}y} \quad=\quad \big< \big< A(x,y) \big>_{\Omega_p} \big>_{\Omega_q}
+    .
+
+The proper discretization of spaces, fields, and operators, as well as the normalization of position integrals, is essential for the conservation of the continuum limit. Their consistent implementation in NIFTY allows a pixelization independent coding of algorithms.

+take the form of an explicit matrix (e.g. stored in a Numpy array) or it may be 
+implicitly defined as a function (e.g. an FFT operation would not be encoded in
+a matrix, but performed using an FFT routine). NIFTY includes a framework for 
+handling arbitrary operators, and basic methods for manipulating these 
+operators. Common functions like taking traces and extracting diagonals are 
+provided.
+
+In order to have a blueprint for operators capable of handling fields, any 
+application of operators is split into a general and a concrete part. The 
+general part comprises the correct involvement of normalizations and 
+transformations, necessary for any operator type, while the concrete part is 
+unique for each operator subclass. In analogy to the field class, any operator 
+instance has a set of properties that specify its domain and target as well as 
+some additional flags.

+Operator classes
+----------------
+NIFTY provides a base class for defining operators, as well as several pre-implemented operator types that are very often needed for signal inference
+algorithms.
