However Carleson's theorem shows that for a given continuous function the Fourier series converges almost everywhere. It is also possible to give explicit examples of a continuous function whose Fourier series diverges at 0: for instance, the even and 2π-periodic function f defined for all x in [0,π] by [ 9 ]
In mathematics, the Dirichlet–Jordan test gives sufficient conditions for a complex-valued, periodic function to be equal to the sum of its Fourier series at a point of continuity. Moreover, the behavior of the Fourier series at points of discontinuity is determined as well (it is the midpoint of the values of the discontinuity).
The theorems proving that a Fourier series is a valid representation of any periodic function (that satisfies the Dirichlet conditions), and informal variations of them that don't specify the convergence conditions, are sometimes referred to generically as Fourier's theorem or the Fourier theorem.
Then the Fourier series of f converges at t to f(t). For example, the theorem holds with ω f = log −2 ( 1 / δ ) but does not hold with log −1 ( 1 / δ ) . Theorem (the Dini–Lipschitz test): Assume a function f satisfies
In mathematics, Dirichlet's test is a method of testing for the convergence of a series that is especially useful for proving conditional convergence. It is named after its author Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet , and was published posthumously in the Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées in 1862.
When combined with Carleson's theorem this shows that there is a continuous function whose Fourier series diverges at all points of a given set of reals if and only if the set has measure 0. The extension of Carleson's theorem to L p for p > 1 was stated to be a "rather obvious" extension of the case p = 2 in Carleson's paper, and was proved by ...

The convolution of D n (x) with any function f of period 2 π is the nth-degree Fourier series approximation to f, i.e., we have () = () = = ^ (), where ^ = is the k th Fourier coefficient of f. This implies that in order to study convergence of Fourier series it is enough to study properties of the Dirichlet kernel.
