A Fourier series (/ ˈ f ʊr i eɪ,-i ər / [1]) is an expansion of a periodic function into a sum of trigonometric functions. The Fourier series is an example of a trigonometric series. [2] By expressing a function as a sum of sines and cosines, many problems involving the function become easier to analyze because trigonometric functions are ...

[note 3] Still further generalization is possible to functions on groups, which, besides the original Fourier transform on R or R n, notably includes the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT, group = Z), the discrete Fourier transform (DFT, group = Z mod N) and the Fourier series or circular Fourier transform (group = S 1, the unit circle ≈ ...

Compute the Fourier transform (b j,k) of g.Compute the Fourier transform (a j,k) of f via the formula ().Compute f by taking an inverse Fourier transform of (a j,k).; Since we're only interested in a finite window of frequencies (of size n, say) this can be done using a fast Fourier transform algorithm.
In mathematical analysis, Parseval's identity, named after Marc-Antoine Parseval, is a fundamental result on the summability of the Fourier series of a function. The identity asserts the equality of the energy of a periodic signal (given as the integral of the squared amplitude of the signal) and the energy of its frequency domain representation (given as the sum of squares of the amplitudes).
There are many known sufficient conditions for the Fourier series of a function to converge at a given point x, for example if the function is differentiable at x. Even a jump discontinuity does not pose a problem: if the function has left and right derivatives at x , then the Fourier series converges to the average of the left and right limits ...
A number of authors, notably Jean le Rond d'Alembert, and Carl Friedrich Gauss used trigonometric series to study the heat equation, [20] but the breakthrough development was the 1807 paper Mémoire sur la propagation de la chaleur dans les corps solides by Joseph Fourier, whose crucial insight was to model all functions by trigonometric series ...
