Resumen de On the Notion of Bandlimitedness and its Generalizations

Ahmed I. Zayed

• In this survey article we introduce the Paley-Wiener space of bandlimited functions PWw, and review some of its generalizations. Some of these generalizations are new and will be presented without proof because the proofs will be published somewhere else. Guided by the role that the differentiation operator plays in some of the characterizations of the Paley-Wiener space, we construct a subspace of vectors PWw(D) in a Hilbert space H using a self-adjoint operator D. We then show that the space PWw(D) has similar properties to those of the space PWw. The paper is concluded with an application to show how to apply the abstract results to integral transforms associated with singular Sturm-Liouville problems.
