Fourier cosine series Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
A Fourier cosine series has the form
It represents the even function obtained by reflecting its data across the origin.
Fourier coefficient Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For an integrable function of period , its complex Fourier coefficients measure its inner product with each complex exponential mode:
For a real function of period , the real coefficient convention of Fourier series gives and for , with . For , the only nonzero complex Fourier coefficients are , , , and . This explains why the real and complex lists look different while representing the same function.
Trigonometric polynomial Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A trigonometric polynomial is a finite linear combination of complex exponentials , or equivalently of sines and cosines. If it vanishes on an interval, all its coefficients vanish.
