Paley-Wiener subspace of vectors in a Hilbert space with applications to integral transforms (Q1018142)

The authors introduce an analogue of the Paley--Wiener space of bandlimited functions, \(PW_\omega\), which consists of Paley--Wiener vectors in Hilbert spaces whose spectral transform has support in \([-\omega, \omega]\) and describe some basic properties of these vectors. The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part they show that Paley--Wiener vectors share similar properties to those of the classical Paley--Wiener functions, and two sampling theorems for vectors. In the second part they apply the results in the first part to integral transforms associated with singular Sturm--Liouville problems.
