    If f is a mean periodic function, then it is the limit of a certain sequence of exponential polynomials which are finite linear combinations of term t^^n exp(at) where n is any non-negative integer and a is any complex number; also Df is a mean periodic function (ie mean periodic) and if h is an exponential polynomial, then the pointwise product of f and h is mean periodic).

    For example, the periodic table categorizes the elements. Scientists use knowledge about the nature of electrons, protons and neutrons to devise this categorical scheme. We now take for granted the periodic table, yet it took descriptive research to devise it. Descriptive research generally precedes explanatory research. For example, over time ...
