The Nyquist theorem for cellular sheaves

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We develop a unified sampling theory based on sheaves and show that the Shannon-Nyquist theorem is a cohomological consequence of an exact sequence of sheaves. Our theory indicates that there are additional cohomological obstructions for higher-dimensional sampling problems. Using these obstructions, we also present conditions for perfect reconstruction of piecewise linear functions on graphs, a collection of non-bandlimited functions on topologically nontrivial domains.
