Abstract
For a sampling formula with the sinc-Gaussian kernel Qian et al. have recently given an error estimate for the class of band-limited functions with the aid of tools from Fourier analysis. By using complex analysis, we give in this paper an error estimate for a wider class of functions. Part of the result of Qian et al. can be derived from ours as an immediate corollary. Computational results show a fairly good agreement with the theoretical convergence rates.
