On the optimal analytic continuation from discrete data (2106.01471v1)

Abstract: We consider analytic functions from a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Given that such a function is of order $\epsilon$ on a set of discrete data points, relative to its global size, we ask how large can it be at a fixed point outside of the data set. We obtain optimal bounds on this error of analytic continuation and describe its asymptotic behavior in $\epsilon$. We also describe the maximizer function attaining the optimal error in terms of the resolvent of a positive semidefinite, self-adjoint and finite rank operator.
