Two dimensional symmetric and antisymmetric generalizations of sine functions

Properties of 2-dimensional generalizations of sine functions that are symmetric or antisymmetric with respect to permutation of their two variables are described. It is shown that the functions are orthogonal when integrated over a finite region $F$ of the real Euclidean space, and that they are discretely orthogonal when summed up over a lattice of any density in $F$. Decomposability of the products of functions into their sums is shown by explicitly decomposing products of all types. The formalism is set up for Fourier-like expansions of digital data over 2-dimensional lattices in $F$. Continuous interpolation of digital data is studied.
