A Nearly Minimum Redundant Correlator Interpolation Formula for   Gravitational Wave Chirp Detection
  An absolute lower bound on the number of templates needed to keep the fitting factor above a prescribed minimal value $\Gamma$ in correlator bank detection of (newtonian) gravitational wave chirps from unknown inspiraling compact binary sources is derived, resorting to the theory of quasi-bandlimited functions in the $L^\infty$ norm. An explicit nearly-minimum redundant cardinal-interpolation formula for the (reduced, noncoherent) correlator is introduced. Its computational burden and statistical properties are compared to those of the plain lattice of (reduced, noncoherent) correlators, for the same $\Gamma$. Extension to post-newtonian models is outlined.
