On sampling theory and basic Sturm-Liouville systems (Q2370566)

The authors consider the basic Sturm-Liouville problem involving the second order \(q\)-difference equation with \(q\)-Jackson difference operator. The main purpose of this paper is to derive some \(q\)-analogs of the results for the ``classical'' Sturm-Liouville problem, i.e., involving the differential equation. They establish two sampling theorems for integral transforms whose kernels are basic functions and the integral is of Jackson's type. The kernel in the first theorem is a solution of a basic difference equation and in the second one it is expresssed in terms of basic Green's function of the basic Sturm-Liouville systems. Examples involving basic sine and cosine transforms are given.
