The time and band limiting operator is introduced to optimize the reconstruction of a signal from only a partial part of its spectrum. In the discrete case, this operator commutes with the so-called algebraic Heun operator which appears in…
We introduce the algebraic Heun operator associated to any bispectral pair of operators. We show that these operators are natural generalizations of the ordinary Heun operator. This leads to a simple construction of the operators commuting…
The problem of recovering a signal of finite duration from a piece of its Fourier transform was solved at Bell Labs in the $1960$'s, by exploiting a "miracle": a certain naturally appearing integral operator commutes with an explicit…
The subject of time-band-limiting, originating in signal processing, is dominated by the miracle that a naturally appearing integral operator admits a commuting differential one allowing for a numerically efficient way to compute its…
The main purpose of this paper is to extend to a situation involving matrix valued orthogonal polynomials and spherical functions, a result that traces its origin and its importance to work of Claude Shannon in laying the mathematical…
The "time-and-band limiting" commutative property was found and exploited by D. Slepian, H. Landau and H. Pollak at Bell Labs in the 1960's, and independently by M. Mehta and later by C. Tracy and H. Widom in Random matrix theory. The…
A survey of recents advances in the theory of Heun operators is offered. Some of the topics covered include: quadratic algebras and orthogonal polynomials, differential and difference Heun operators associated to Jacobi and Hahn…
Timelimited functions and bandlimited functions play a fundamental role in signal and image processing. But by the uncertainty principles, a signal cannot be simultaneously time and bandlimited. A natural assumption is thus that a signal is…
The classical sampling theorem for bandlimited functions has recently been generalized to apply to so-called bandlimited operators, that is, to operators with band-limited Kohn-Nirenberg symbols. Here, we discuss operator sampling versions…
Withdrawn due to a likely error with the homeomorphism at line (4). Old abstract: In the monograph 'Limit Operators and their Applications in Operator Theory', the authors define the operator spectrum of a band-dominated operator T and…
We consider the formal prolate spheroid differential operator on a finite symmetric interval and describe all its self-adjoint boundary conditions. Only one of these boundary conditions corresponds to a self-operator differential operator…
The bispectral problem is motivated by an effort to understand and extend a remarkable phenomenon in Fourier analysis on the real line: the operator of time-and-band limiting is an integral operator admitting a second-order differential…
A notion of band limited functions is considered in the case of the hyperbolic plane in its Poincare upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$ realization. The concept of band-limitedness is based on the existence of the Helgason-Fourier transform on…
We study relations between spectra of two operators that are connected to each other through some intertwining conditions. As application we obtain new results on the spectra of multiplication operators on $B(\cl H)$ relating it to the…
The Fourier operator truncated on a finite symmetric interval is considered. The limiting behavior of its spectrum is discussed as the length of the interval tends to infinity.
An apparent paradox is resolved that concerns the existence of time operators which have been derived for the quantum harmonic oscillator. There is an apparent paradox because, although a time operator is canonically conjugate to the…
Sampling and reconstruction of functions is a central tool in science. A key result is given by the sampling theorem for bandlimited functions attributed to Whittaker, Shannon, Nyquist, and Kotelnikov. We develop an analogous sampling…
We study the recovery of operators with bandlimited Kohn-Nirenberg symbol from the action of such operators on a weighted impulse train, a procedure we refer to as operator sampling. Kailath, and later Kozek and the authors have shown that…
An operator on an $l^{p}$-space is called band-dominated if it can be approximated, in the operator norm, by operators with a banded matrix representation. It is known that a rich band-dominated operator is $\mathcal{P}$-Fredholm (which is…
