Cardinal spline interpolation from $H^{1}(\mathbb {Z})$ to $L_{1}(\mathbb {R})$ (Q4490219)

Let \(H^1(\mathbb Z)\) be the discrete Hardy space, consisting of those double infinite bounded sequences \(y=\{y_j\}\in l_1(\mathbb Z)\), such that \(Hy=\{Hy_j\}\in l_1(\mathbb Z)\), where \(Hy_j=\sum_{k\neq j}\frac{y_j}{k-j}\), \(j\in\mathbb Z\), is the discrete Hilbert transform of \(y\). Let \(\mathcal L_my\in L_1(\mathbb R)\) be the unique cardinal spline of degree \(m-1\) interpolating to \(y\) at the integers. The norm of the operator \(\mathcal L_m\), \(\|\mathcal L_m\|_1=\sup\{\|\mathcal L_my\|_{L_1(\mathbb R)}:\;\|y\|_{l_1(\mathbb Z)}\leq 1\}\) is referred to as the \(m\)th Lebesgue constant for cardinal spline interpolation. By a result of M.J. Marsden, \textit{F. B. Richards} and \textit{S. D. Riemenschneider} [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 24, 677-689 (1975; Zbl 0297.41009)], it is known that \(\sup_m\{\|\mathcal L_m\|_1\}=\infty\). In contrast with this unboundedness phenomenon, the author proves that if \(\{(-1)^jy_j\}\in H^1(\mathbb Z)\), then for all \(m\in\mathbb N\), \[ \|\mathcal L_my\|_{L_1(\mathbb R)}\leq\left(1+\frac{\pi}2\right)\left(1+\frac{\pi}3\right)(\|y\|_{l_1(\mathbb Z)}+\|\{H(-1)^jy_j\}\|_{l_1(\mathbb Z)}. \]
