Failure of radial Schwartz interpolation on the density-one hexagonal lattice radii

About 7 years old · traced to

Let r1,r2,…r_1,r_2,\dots be the positive real numbers of the form

(4/3)1/4j2+jk+k2,(4/3)^{1/4}\sqrt{j^2+jk+k^2},

where jj and kk are integers. Radial Schwartz functions f ⁣:R2→Rf\colon{\mathbb R}^2\to{\mathbb R} are considered through their values and radial derivatives at these radii, together with the corresponding Fourier-transform data. Hexagonal interpolation-failure conjecture. Such radial Schwartz functions are not uniquely determined by the values f(rn)f(r_n), f′(rn)f'(r_n), f^(rn)\widehat{f}(r_n), and f^ ′(rn)\widehat{f}\,'(r_n) for integers n≥1n\geq 1. The conjecture is motivated by the relative sparsity of the distinct distances in the density-one hexagonal lattice and by numerical computations; the source gives no proof or resolution.
