Superoscillations occur when a globally band-limited function locally oscillates faster than its highest Fourier coefficient. We generalize this effect to arbitrary quantum mechanical operators as a weak value, where the preselected state…

Arguments from scale physics, augmented by numerical and analytical investigations, are used to consider the probability and the detectability of superoscillations in generic functions. The detectability is defined as the fraction of the…

We present a formal definition of superoscillating function. We discuss the limitations of previously proposed definitions and illustrate that they do not cover the full gamut of superoscillatory behaviours. We demonstrate the suitability…

We construct a signal from "almost" pure oscillations within some low frequency band. We construct it to produce a superoscillation with frequency above the nominal band limit. We find that indeed the required high frequency is produced but…

In many applications data are measured or defined on a spherical manifold; spherical harmonic transforms are then required to access the frequency content of the data. We derive algorithms to perform forward and inverse spin spherical…

Oscillons, extremely long-living localized oscillations of a scalar field, are studied in theories with quartic and sine-Gordon potentials in two spatial dimensions. We present qualitative results concentrating largely on a study in…

Functions that are smooth but non-periodic on a certain interval possess Fourier series that lack uniform convergence and suffer from the Gibbs phenomenon. However, they can be represented accurately by a Fourier series that is periodic on…

We further develop the concept of supergrowth [Jordan, Quantum Stud.: Math. Found. $\textbf{7}$, 285-292 (2020)], a phenomenon complementary to superoscillation, defined as the local amplitude growth rate of a function being higher than its…

Superoscillations are a phenomenon where a band-limited wave may locally oscillate faster than its highest Fourier component. They are a product of destructive interference between the wave's constituent harmonics. In this article, we…

We give a general strategy to construct superoscillating/growing functions using an orthogonal polynomial expansion of a bandlimited function. The degree of superoscillation/growth is controlled by an anomalous expectation value of a…

We show that it is possible to construct spectrally lower bound limited functions which can oscillate locally at an arbitrarily low frequency. Such sub-oscillatory functions are complementary to super-oscillatory functions which are…

Optimal sampling of non band-limited functions is an issue of great importance that has attracted considerable attention. We propose to tackle this problem through the use of a frequency warping: First, by a nonlinear shrinking of…

In this paper we investigate new results on the theory of superoscillations using time-frequency analysis tools and techniques such as the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and the Zak transform. We start by studying how the short-time…

We consider non oscillatory functions and prove an everywhere Fourier Inversion Theorem for functions of very moderate decrease. The proofs rely on some ideas in nonstandard analysis.

The concept of superbandwidth refers to the fact that a band-limited signal can exhibit, locally, an increase of its bandwidth, i.e., an effective bandwidth greater than that predicted by its Fourier transform. In this work, we study the…
