An uncertainty principle and sampling inequalities in Besov spaces

We extend Strichartz’s uncertainty principle [18] from the setting of the Sobolov space W 1,2 ® to more general Besov spaces B 1/p p,1 ®. The main result gives an estimate from below of the trace of a function from the Besov space on a uniformly distributed discrete subset. We also prove the corresponding result in the multivariate case and discuss some applications to irregular approximate sampling in critical Besov spaces.
