Poisson type generators for \(L^{1}(\mathbb R)\) (Q1040677)

The authors consider sequences of the form \( \{\phi(t-\lambda), \lambda \in \Lambda\}, \) where \(\Lambda \in \mathbb{R}\) is a discrete set and \(\widehat{\phi}(\xi)\) behaves like \(\exp(-2 \pi |\xi|)\), and in their Theorem 1.2 find a necessary and sufficient condition on the set \(\Lambda\) for such a sequence to be dense in \(L(\mathbb{R})\). This result is a particular case of Theorem 2 of the reviewer's article [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 82, 361--369 (1981; Zbl 0499.30009)]. However, a generalization of their result (Theorem 3.1), stated with only a sketch of proof, is not included in the reviewer's theorem. For other results on the closure of translates see the references cited in the reviewer's article.
