The ideal square wave contains only components of odd-integer harmonic frequencies (of the form 2π(2k − 1)f). A curiosity of the convergence of the Fourier series representation of the square wave is the Gibbs phenomenon. Ringing artifacts in non-ideal square waves can be shown to be related to this phenomenon.
A square wave (represented as the blue dot) is approximated by its sixth partial sum (represented as the purple dot), formed by summing the first six terms (represented as arrows) of the square wave's Fourier series. Each arrow starts at the vertical sum of all the arrows to its left (i.e. the previous partial sum).

Inspired by correspondence in Nature between Michelson and A. E. H. Love about the convergence of the Fourier series of the square wave function, J. Willard Gibbs published a note in 1898 pointing out the important distinction between the limit of the graphs of the partial sums of the Fourier series of a sawtooth wave and the graph of the limit ...
If f is of bounded variation, then its Fourier series converges everywhere. If f is additionally continuous, the convergence is uniform. [6] If f is continuous and its Fourier coefficients are absolutely summable, then the Fourier series converges uniformly. [7] There exist continuous functions whose Fourier series converges pointwise but not ...
If () is a periodic function, with period , that has a convergent Fourier series, then: ^ = = (), where are the Fourier series coefficients of , and is the Dirac delta function. In other words, the Fourier transform is a Dirac comb function whose teeth are multiplied by the Fourier series coefficients.
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 ...
A generalized Fourier series is the expansion of a square integrable function into a sum of square integrable orthogonal basis functions. The standard Fourier series uses an orthonormal basis of trigonometric functions , and the series expansion is applied to periodic functions.
