Quantization means, that values a^ are assigned to a function f: 
Q = f - { a k} k - 
These values may be determined locally, i. e., in connection with the 
digitized points x^, or maybe obtained globally. This assignment of values 
can be connected now with the development of the function with the help of 
corresponding function systems. Thereby the numbers a^ are the coefficients 
of a corresponding expansion. 
In Table 1 these processes and function systems are compared. 
Practically the following assignements of values are of great importance: 
- function values in the digitized points (scanned values), 
- interpolation of function values within a neighbourhood 
(convolution of rectangle function), 
- FOURIER-coefficients of the function (harmonic analysis). 
3. Functional analytical methods 
The above described functionals can interpreted as elements of an. abstract 
space - the so-called dual space. 
Thus, a bilinear form (f,x) can be defined, which is linear in both components 
and which assigns a number to a pair of elements f and x. Two essential 
examples are shown in Figure 2. 
A HILBERT-space corresponds to its dual one, and it can be shown, for every 
linear functional there exists an element out of the space itself, which 
creates this functional by the scalar product. These facts are important, 
because assignment of numbers to an analogue signal can be understood as 
discrete realization of the signal itself, i. e. it leads to an equivalence 
of discrete and analogue representation. 
With integral representations continuous and discrete signals or realizations 
in form of scalar products can be described. For continuous representations 
this integral is a true one, whereas with discrete realizations it decomposes 
into a series. This is analogue to the equivalence of the HILBERT-spaces of 
the square integral functions L 2 and the square summable sequences l 2 (see 
also Fig. 3).
