Abstract

We propose a new notion of variable bandwidth and develop the basic theory. Starting with a strictly positive function p on ℝ (a bandwidth parametrization), a function is of variable bandwidth Ω, if it is contained in the spectral subspace of the elliptic operator A p ƒ = − d/dx (p(x) d/dx) ƒ with spectrum [0, Ω]. We derive (i) (nonuniform) sampling theorems and corresponding algorithms, and (ii) necessary density conditions in the style of Landau. The main results say that, in a neighborhood of x ∈ ℝ, a function of variable bandwidth behaves like a bandlimited function with bandwidth (Ω/p(x))1/2.
