Superoscillations: a scale physics perspective

preprint2019arXivOpen access

Abstract

Arguments from scale physics, augmented by numerical and analytical investigations, are used to consider the probability and the detectability of superoscillations in generic functions. The detectability is defined as the fraction of the total power in the field that is located at regions of superoscillations. It is found that the probability for a superoscillation of a particular scale follows a quadratic power-law decay curve above the scale of the bounded support of the spectrum. The detectability is found to be even more severely suppressed, following a fourth-order power-law decay curve above the scale of the spectrum.
