The role of nonpolynomiality in uniform approximation by RBF networks of Hankel translates (Q2422470)

Summary: Given \(\mu > - 1 / 2\) and \(c \in I = ( 0, \infty)\), let the space \(\mathcal{C}_{\mu, c}\) (respectively, \(\mathcal{C}_\mu\)) consist of all those continuous functions \(u\) on \(( 0, c]\) (respectively, \(I\)) such that the limit \(\lim_{z \rightarrow 0 +} z^{- \mu - 1 / 2} u(z)\) exists and is finite; \(\mathcal{C}_{\mu, c}\) is endowed with the uniform norm \(\|u\|_{\mu, \infty, c} = \sup_{z \in [0, c]} |z^{- \mu - 1 / 2} u(z)|\) (\(u \in \mathcal{C}_{\mu, c}\)). Assume that \(\phi \in \mathcal{C}_\mu\) defines an absolutely regular Hankel-transformable distribution. Then the linear span of dilates and Hankel translates of \(\phi\) is dense in \(\mathcal{C}_{\mu, c}\) for all \(c \in I\) if, and only if, \(\phi \notin \pi_\mu\), where \(\pi_\mu = \operatorname{span} \{t^{2 n + \mu + 1 / 2} : n \in \mathbb{Z}_+ \} \).
