Analyticity and supershift with irregular sampling

Abstract

The notion of supershift generalizes that one of superoscillation and expresses the fact that the sampling of a function in an interval allows to compute the values of the function outside the interval. In a previous paper, we discussed the case in which the sampling of the function is regular and we are considering supershift in a bounded set, while here we investigate how irregularity in the sampling may affect the answer to the question of whether there is any relation between supershift and real analyticity on the whole real line. We show that the restriction to R\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\mathbb {R}$$\\end{document} of any entire function displays supershift, whereas the converse is, in general, not true. We conjecture that the converse is true as long as the sampling is regular, we discuss examples in support and we prove that the conjecture is indeed true for periodic functions.
