Approximation by amplitude and frequency operators (Q281532)

The authors introduce amplitude and frequency operators of the form \(H_n(z)=\sum_{k=1}^n\mu_kh(\lambda_kz)\), where the complex numbers \(\lambda_k\) are frequencies and the \(\mu_k\) are amplitudes, \(h(z)=\sum_{m=0}^\infty h_mz^m\) (\(h_m\neq0\)) is a fixed function, analytic at the origin, and study Padé interpolation at the node \(z=0\) of functions \(f(z)=\sum_{m=0}^\infty f_mz^m\), analytic in a neighbourhood of zero, by the operators \(H_n(z)\). They remark that the solvability of the \(2n\)-multiple interpolation problem can be settled by the solvability of the moment problem \(\sum_{k=1}^n\mu_k\lambda_k^m=f_m/h_m,\,m=0,\dots,2n-1\).
