Linear approximation and reproduction of polynomials by wilson bases.

Wilson bases are constituted by trigonometric functions multiplied by translates of a window function with good time frequency localization. In this article we investigate the approximation of functions from Sobolev spaces by partial sums of the Wilson basis expansion. In particular, we show that the approximation can be improved if polynomials are reproduced. We give examples of Wilson bases, which reproduce linear functions with the lowest-frequency term only
