Nonequispaced fast Fourier transforms for bandlimited functions

Abstract

In this paper we consider the problem of approximating function evaluations $f(\boldsymbol x_j)$ at given nonequispaced points $\boldsymbol x_j$, $j=1,\dots N$, of a bandlimited function from given values $\hat{f}(\boldsymbol k)$, $\boldsymbol k\in \mathcal I_{\boldsymbol M}$, of its Fourier transform. Note that if a trigonometric polynomial is given, it is already known that this problem can be solved by means of the nonequispaced fast Fourier transform (NFFT). In other words, we introduce a new NFFT-like procedure for bandlimited functions, which is based on regularized Shannon sampling formulas.
