We study the reconstruction of cardinal splines f(t), from their average samples yn = f ∗h(n), n ∈ Z, when the average function h(t) has support in [−1/2, 1/2]. We investigate the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the following problem: for given dates yn, find a cardinal spline f(t), of a given degree, satisfying yn = f ∗ h(n), n ∈ Z. 1 Spline interpolation and average sampling First...
