= Sampling expansion by periodic Fourier projection
{title2=$f(t)=\sum_{n\in\mathbb Z}f(n)\operatorname{sinc}(t-n)$}
When the continuous <Fourier transform> $F$ of an integrable <function> vanishes outside $[-\pi,\pi]$, its periodic <Fourier coefficients> are the integer samples of $f$, with the sign of the index reversed. Projecting $F$ in $L^2[-\pi,\pi]$ and then applying the <Fourier inversion theorem> gives the displayed <sinc function> reconstruction. The <Cauchy-Schwarz inequality> controls the reconstruction error uniformly in $t$. <Bessel's inequality> bounds the shifted sinc coefficient vector, giving absolute uniform tails when the sample sequence belongs to $\ell^2$.
