Abstract

Under a suitable sparsity condition on the exponents Λ=(λkk+iσk), it is shown that the individual terms\(c_T = \{ c_k e^{i\lambda _k T} \} \) can be obtained from observation of the L2 function\(f(t) = \sum {c_k e^{i\lambda _k t} } \) through the ‘window’ t∈[0, δ]—with an l2 estimate (uniform for such Λ) asymptotically as t, δ→0. Some applications are given to control theory for partial differential equations.
