Representation and approximation of functions via (0,2)-interpolation (Q1820337)

For \(f\in C^ 2({\mathbb{R}})\) we introduce an interpolation operator \(R(f;z):=\sum^{\infty}_{n=-\infty}(f(n)A_ n(z)+f''(n)B_ n(z))\) with the following properties: R(f;.) is an entire function of exponential type \(2\pi\), \(R(f;n)=f(n)\), \(R''(f;n)=f''(n)\) for all \(n\in {\mathbb{Z}}\); \(R'(f;0)=R\prime''(f;0)=0\). We establish essentially best possible conditions under which an entire function f of exponential type \(\tau <2\pi\) or \(\tau =2\pi\) may be represented as \(f(z)=R(f;z)+c_ 1(f) \sin \pi z+c_ 2(f) \sin 2\pi z\) with explicitly given constants \(c_ 1(f)\), \(c_ 2(f)\) depending on f'(0) and f'''(0). These results are used for approximation of a continuous function by a sequence of (0,2)- interpolating entire functions of exponential type. Defining \[ R_{\tau}(f;\beta,z)\quad:=\quad \sum^{\infty}_{n=- \infty}(f(\frac{n\pi}{\tau})A_ n(\frac{\tau}{\pi}z)+(\frac{\pi}{\tau})^ 2\beta_{\tau n}B_ n(\frac{\tau}{\pi}z)) \] we have an entire function of exponential type \(2\pi\) such that \(R_{\tau}(f;\beta,n\pi /\tau)=f(n\pi /\tau)\) and \(R''_{\tau}(f;\beta,n\pi /\tau)=\beta_{\tau n}\) for all \(n\in {\mathbb{Z}}\). It is then shown that \(\lim_{\tau \to \infty}R_{\tau}(f;\beta,x)=f(x)\) uniformly on every compact subset of \({\mathbb{R}}\) provided f is a bounded continuous function on \({\mathbb{R}}\) such that \(| f(x+h)-2f(x)+f(x-h)| =o(h)\) as \(h\to 0\) uniformly for \(x\in {\mathbb{R}}\) and the ''free parameters'' \(\beta_{\tau n}\) satisfy \(\sup_{n}| \beta_{\tau n}| =o(\tau)\) as \(\tau\to \infty\). These results are analogous to the work of P. Turán with J. Balász and J. Surányi, and of G. Freud on (0,2)-interpolation by algebraic polynomials. Furthermore they extend a result of O. Kiš on (0,2)- interpolation of periodic functions by trigonometric polynomials.
