Weighted Paley-Wiener spaces

From MaRDI portal





Let \(H\) be a Hilbert space of entire functions on \(\mathbb C\) whose norm is given by a positive weight \(w(x)>0\): \[ \|f\|_w^2 = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}|f(x)w(x)|^2 dx. \] It is assumed that point evaluation is a bounded linear functional for each \(z\in\mathbb C\), and that \(H\) has the following symmetry property: \(H\) is closed under the operations \(f(z) \to f(z)(z-\overline\zeta)\big/(z-\zeta)\) (provided \(f(\zeta)=0\)) and \(f(z) \to \overline{f(\overline z)}\). These assumptions ensure that \(H\) is a Hilbert space of entire functions in the sense of \textit{L. de Branges} [Hilbert spaces of entire functions, Prentice Hall (1968; Zbl 0157.43301)]. The majorant of the space \(H\) is defined as \[ M(z) = \sup \{|f(z)|: \|f\|_w \leq 1,\;f\in H\}. \] The weight \(w\) is a majorant weight if \(M(x)w(x)\) is uniformly bounded above and below by positive constants. If this is the case then \(H\) is called a weighted Paley-Wiener space. The classical Paley-Wiener space \(\text{PW}_{\tau}\) (\(\tau >0\)), corresponding to the weight \(w\equiv 1\), consists of all entire functions of exponential type \(\leq \tau\) whose restrictions to \(\mathbb R\) are square integrable. In the paper under review, the authors provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a function \(w(x)>0\) to be a majorant weight, and also characterize the family of all weighted Paley-Wiener spaces whose norms are given by a fixed majorant weight \(w\). It is also proved (Theorem 3) that to every such weighted Paley-Wiener space \(H\), there exists a \(\tau >0\), a sequence \(\Sigma\) of complex numbers, and an entire function \(F\) vanishing on \(\Sigma\) such that \(f(z) \to f(z)F(z)\) is a bijective mapping from \(H\) to \(\text{PW}_{\tau}(\Sigma)\) (the set of all functions in \(\text{PW}_{\tau}\) vanishing on \(\Sigma\)) with \(\|f\|_w\approx \|fF\|_2\). As a consequence of Theorem 3, results on sets of uniqueness, sampling, and interpolation for \(\text{PW}_{\tau}\) can be extended in a direct and natural way.
