Linear approximation and reproduction of polynomials by Wilson bases (Q1602279)

Wilson bases are created multiplying trigonometric functions by translates of a window function with good time/frequency localization. This article investigates the approximation of functions from Sobolev spaces by partial sums of the Wilson basis expansion. In particular, it is shown that the approximation can be improved if polynomials are reproduced. Examples of Wilson bases which reproduce linear functions with the lowest frequency term only, are given.
