Continuity of some operators arising in the theory of superoscillations

The study of superoscillations naturally leads to the analysis of a large class of convolution operators acting on spaces of entire functions. In particular, the key point is often the proof of the continuity of these operators on appropriate spaces. Most papers in the current literature utilize abstract methods from functional analysis to establish such continuity. In this paper, on the other hand, we rely on some recent advances in the study of entire functions, to offer explicit proofs of the continuity of such operators. To demonstrate the applicability and the flexibility of these explicit methods, we will use them to study the important case of superoscillations associated with quadratic Hamiltonians. The paper also contains a list of interesting open problems, and we have collected as well, for the convenience of the reader, some well-known results, and their proofs, on Gamma and Mittag–Leffler functions that are often used in our computations.
