 Triangular wave

A triangular wave is a continuous piecewise linear periodic function whose slope alternates between two values. The even $2\pi$-periodic extension of $bx$ from $[0,\pi ]$ is $P(s)=b|s-2k\pi |$ for $(2k-1)\pi \le s\le (2k+1)\pi$. Its Fourier cosine series contains a constant term and odd modes with coefficients proportional to the inverse square of the mode number. Such extensions describe reflection under Neumann boundary conditions.
