 Solution

The given square wave agrees almost everywhere with an odd function on $(-\pi ,\pi )$; its assigned value at the single point $0$ does not affect any Fourier coefficient. Thus $a_0=a_n=0$, whileThe Fourier series is thereforeThe Dirichlet convergence theorem for Fourier series applies because the periodic extension is piecewise smooth. It gives $f(x)$ at each continuity point and the midpoint $0$ at the jumps, including $x=0$; it does not reproduce the assigned value $f(0)=-1$ there.

At the continuity point $x=\pi /2$, $\sin ((2r+1)\pi /2)=(-1{)}^r$ and $f(\pi /2)=1$. ThusNo evaluation at a discontinuity or rearrangement of the conditionally convergent series is involved.
