Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions, Fourier Analysis, and Uncertainty-V: The Discrete Case

Slepian, D.·1978·Bell System Technical Journal

Abstract

A discrete time series has associated with it an amplitude spectrum which is a periodic function of frequency. This paper investigates the extent to which a time series can be concentrated on a finite index set and also have its spectrum concentrated on a subinterval of the fundamental period of the spectrum. Key to the analysis are certain sequences, called discrete prolate spheroidal sequences, and certain functions of frequency called discrete prolate spheroidal functions. Their mathematical properties are investigated in great detail, and many applications to signal analysis are pointed out.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
