Bilinear biorthogonal expansions and the Dunkl kernel on the real line

TL;DR
This work develops a general framework for bilinear, and in particular biorthogonal, kernel expansions that generalize Paley-Wiener theory to broader kernels and parameters. It first establishes a robust abstract setup for orthogonal and biorthogonal expansions and then applies it to classical Fourier kernels, reproducing sampling formulas and Gegenbauer-type plane-wave expansions. The authors then extend the framework to the Dunkl setting on the real line, deriving a Dunkl analogue of Gegenbauer expansions, a Dunkl-based sampling theorem, and Fourier–Neumann-type expansions, with direct consequences for the Hankel transform. These results yield explicit, uniformly convergent expansions in terms of Dunkl transforms, Bessel functions, and Jacobi polynomials, linking Paley-Wiener theory, special function expansions, and Dunkl analysis with potential applications in spectral theory and signal processing.
Abstract
We study an extension of the classical Paley-Wiener space structure, which is based on bilinear expansions of integral kernels into biorthogonal sequences of functions. The structure includes both sampling expansions and Fourier-Neumann type series as special cases, and it also provides a bilinear expansion for the Dunkl kernel (in the rank 1 case) which is a Dunkl analogue of Gegenbauer's expansion of the plane wave and the corresponding sampling expansions. In fact, we show how to derive sampling and Fourier-Neumann type expansions from the results related to the bilinear expansion for the Dunkl kernel.
