In this interesting paper, the author investigates rates of optimal recovery by generalized sampling operators. Let \(\mathbb T^2 = [0,2\pi)\times [0,2\pi)\) and \(f\) be a real valued function defined on \(\mathbb T^2\). Let \(\xi^j\in \mathbb T^2\), \(1\leq j \leq m\), and \(\{\psi_j\}^m_{j=1}\) be functions defined on \(\mathbb T^2\). Form the sampling operator \[ \Psi_m (f,\xi)=\sum^m_{j=1}f (\xi^j)\psi_j. \] Let \(F\) be a class of \(2\pi\)-periodic continuous functions on \(\mathbb T^2\), and form the error over \(F\) in \(L_p\), \[ \Psi_m(f,\xi)=\sup_{f\in F}\| \Psi_m(f,\xi)-f\|_{L_p(\mathbb T^2)}. \] The quantity \[ \rho_m(F)=\inf_{\{\psi_j\}}\inf_{\{\xi^j\}}\Psi_m(F,\xi) \] measures the optimal approximate error in recovery of functions from \(F\).
The author’s main result is a constructive proof of the (new) estimate \[ \rho_m(F)\leq Cm^{-r} (\log m)^{r+1-1/q}, \] where \(C\) is independent of \(m\). Here \(1 < p< \infty\), \(1 < q <\infty\), \(r > 1/p\), and \(F\) is the unit ball of a Besov space \(S^r_{p,q}B(\mathbb T^2)\). The latter is defined in terms of the weighted sections of the Fourier series expansions of functions. The \(\{\Psi_j\}\) are tensor products of shifted one dimensional Dirichlet kernels, and so are trigonometric polynomials.
