Part of the book series: Fundamental Theories of Physics ((FTPH,volume 73))

Abstract

An overall view of some possible interpretations and forms for the uncertainty relations and certain aspects of quantum nonlinear theories correlated with the local analysis by wavelets are presented. Also two possible experiments that may test the general validity of the usual Heisenberg uncertainty relations are discussed.
