| f (x)|2 d x .
f L 2 , (x0 f )(0 f)
We will worry about (x 0 , 0 ) = (0, 0), and then shifts will take care of the rest.
Proof.
(I). Suppose that x f L 2 , so that x 2 f 2 = and 0 f = .

So
| f (x)|2 f x = 2 Re
x f (x) f 0 (x)d x.
And so

where x 2 | f (x)|2 d x is just (0 f )|| f ||2 and 2 | f()|2 d is just (0 f )|| f||2 .

Remark. This is a sharp inequality if youre not gaussian. Gaussians actually achieve equality.

Often attributed by various people, who argued a lot (and got up at conferences and yelled, etc)
to whittaker (1915), kotelnikov (1933), Ogura (1920), Raabe (1939), Shannon by engineers (1948),
Someya (1949). Now its just called the Sampling theorem. Also, Nyquists name is involved here
for some reason? Shannon was the only person on this list really not to do it from a math point of
view (?)
Proof. For this proof, supp | f| (/2, /2). f is compactly supported, so we can write its Fourier
series:
f() =
1
c k p e 2i k/ , || < /2.

Exchange sums and integrals, and use the Fourier inversion to reveal the c k as the sampling points
of f . The remaining integral over the exponentials can be evaluated easily, and rewritten using
Eulers identity.

The sinc kernel fell out of the proof as an explicit way to reconstruct the original function from
a finite number of sampling points. However, it is not a very good kernel, since it decays too
slowly. (/2, /2) is known as the critical bandwidth, but if we pick larger integration limits, say
(5/2, 5/2), and multiplied our Fourier transform by anything nice and smooth in the Fourier
world, say g , as long as g () = 1 for || < /2, then g decays fast in the spatial world. Unfortunately
our new Fourier coefficients will require us to sample five times as fast.
(In practice, what happens if you dont sample EXACTLY at the right time??)
Fact: (sin((xk/))/((xk/)) forms an orthonormal basis for the bandlimited functions,
i.e. B /2 .
Remark. To obtain x from { f (k/) }kZ , apply the sinc formula.
