1. I N T R O D U C T I O N The sampling theory says that if a function f(x) satisfies some certain conditions, then f(x) is uniquely determined by its sampled values at some discrete points (Xk : k C Z} and f ( x ) = E f (Xk) Sk(x), kEZ for some s a m p l i n g f u n c t i o n s {Sk(x)}. For example, if f • L 2 ( R ) w i t h supp f C [ - ~ , ~ t ] , t h e n f ( x ) = ~ k e z f(kTr/f~)(sin(gtx - k~r)/(f~x - kTr)). T h i s is the classical S h a n n o n s a m p l i n g t h e o r e m . Recently, the s a m p l i n g t h e o r e m has been e x t e n d e d to some wavelet subspaces (see [1-8]). Specifically, we have the following proposition. PROPOSITION 1.1. (See [4,7].)

Then {S(- - n)} is a Riesz b ~ i s for V0 and for any f • Y0, f ( ~ ) = E k c z f ( k ) S ( ~ - k), where the convergence is both in L 2 ( R ) and uniform on R .

For any k >_ 0, define n nEZ Fischer [9] proved that if f and ~ are smooth enough then ( R k f ) ( t ) converges to f ( t ) uniformly on R. In literature, the series in (1.2) is usually viewed as a sampling series. In this paper, we study the convergence of R k f for any bounded function f . We also study the case for which the sampling points are irregular and give the convergence rate for some continuous functions. NOTATIONS. In this paper, the Fourier transform of f E L2(R) is defined by ] ( w ) = f a f ( x ) e - ~ " dx. ACIo~ = {f(x) : f is locally absolutely continuous on R}.
2. M A I N R E S U L T S We begin with a simple lemma. LEMMA 2.1. Suppose that f E ACloc and f, f ' E L I ( R ) .

converges pointwisely to a continuous function. THEOREM 2.2. L e t qo(x) be continuous such that (i) ~ E ACloc and ~, ~o' E L I(R), or (ii) there exist s o m e C, ¢ > 0 such that [~(x)I G C . (1/(1 + [x[l+e)). S u p p o s e that Z ~ ( O , w ) satisfies (1.1) for some constants C1,C2 > O. L e t S(w) = ~ ( w ) / Z ~ ( O , w). / f q~(2n~r) = hA,O, then for a n y bounded function f and each point t E R of continuity of f , limk--,+oo(Rkf)(t) = f ( t ) . Furthermore, if f is uniformly continuous on R , then the convergence is uniform on R .
PROOF. First, we show that E k E z [ S ( x -- k)l is convergent uniformly on [0, 1]. For Condition (i), we see from Lemma 2.1 that ~ e z [~(n)l < +oo. For Condition (ii), it is easy to see that ~-~,~ez]~(n)l < +oo. Since Z~o(O,w) has no zero on R, by Wiener's lemma [10, pp. 367,368], there exists some {ak} E 11 such that 1Zq0(0, w) = ~ n e z c~ne-~'~" Hence,
S(x) =

Let S l ( x ) = ~-~.n~Zlt~,~(x - n)]. For Condition (i), S l ( x ) is continuous due to Lemma 2.1 and E S l ( x -- k) ~- E E IOLn~g~(X-- 1~-- n)[ = E Icon[ E I ~ ( x - k)]. kEZ kEZ nEZ nEZ kEZ Using Lemma 2.1 again, we see that ~ k ~ z S l ( x - k ) is continuous on R. For Condition (ii), since ~ n e z [ ~ ( x - n)[ is convergent uniformly on any compact set, it is easy to see that both S l ( x ) and ~ k E z S I ( x -- k) are continuous on R. By Dini's theorem [11, pp. 369,370], ~ k e z S l ( x - k) is convergent uniformly on [0, 1]. Since IS(x)[ < S I ( x ) , ~ k e z S ( z - k) is also convergent uniformly on [0, 1]. Next, we show that ~--~-kczS ( x - k) = 1, V x . For any k E Z, f01 Y~-nEZ~(X n)e -i2k~x dx = f2oo +oo ~(x)e -i2k~x dx = ~(2krr) = 5k,0. Hence, Y-~.nez ~ o ( x - n ) -- 1, Vx. In particular, Z~(0, 0) = ~-~.,~ez~(n) = 1 and so ~-'~kezak = 1/(Zqo(0, 0)) = 1. It follows that ~ k e z S ( x - k) = ~ k e Z Y~neZ anqo(x -- k - n) = Y~.~ez Y~.kez an~o(x - k -

Next we study the convergence of sampling series for which the sampling points are irregular. Let Ng 1 be the set of bounded functions f ( x ) such that ~ n e z l f ( x - n)l is convergent, uniformly on [0, 1] and that ~-jnezf(X - n) - 1. LEMMA 2.3. Suppose that h > 0 and that {a(h, n) : n c Z} is a real sequence satisfying lim sup la(h, n) - hn I = O.

PROOF. Let M = max{Nfll~, sup~ E~ezlS(x ~)1}. Then M < +oc. For any s > O, there exists some N > 0 such that -

Since f is continuous at t, there exists some ~ > 0 such that for any x with ] x - t I < 5, If(x) - f(t)l < e. On the other hand, by (2.1), there exists some 0 < ~1 < 5 / 2 N such that for any 0 < h < r/, la( h,n) - hn I < 5/2,Vn. It follows that la(h,n) - t I < ]a( h,n) - hn I + Ihn - t I < ~/2 + N h < ~ if I t ~ h - n I < N. Hence,

This completes the proof. By Theorem 2.2 and Lemma 2.3, it is easy to prove the following theorem. THEOREM 2.4. Let the hypotheses be as in Theorem 2.2. Furthermore, suppose that {xn} is a real sequence such that iXn - n I < L for some constant L. Then for any bounded function f(t), at each point t 6 R of continuity o f f , limk--.+~ ~-~n f ( X n / 2 k ) s ( 2kt --n) = f(t). At the end of this paper, let us study the approximation error. The following two lemmas are easy to prove, and we leave them to the readers. LEMMA 2.5.
