Astronomical imaging can be broadly classified into two types. The first type is amplitude interferometry, which includes conventional optical telescopes and Very Large Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). The second type is intensity…
This paper extends the known characterization of interpolation and sampling sequences for Bergman spaces to the mixed-norm spaces. The Bergman spaces have conformal invariance properties not shared by the mixed-norm spaces. As a result,…
