On the application of an optimal spline sampling theorem

Abstract In this article, linear combinations of B-splines are presented which are a suitable substitute of the sinc-function in the classical sampling theorem. The advantage is that in practical applications no truncation error occurs; further, the number of samples needed is extremely small, and the signal need to be assumed to be bandlimited. Finally, this method is illustrated graphically and numerically for some testfunctions.
