= Fourier coefficient decay of an analytic periodic function
{c}

If a periodic function extends analytically and remains bounded in a nonzero complex strip around the real axis, contour shifting gives constants $C,c>0$ such that
$$
|\widehat f_n|\leq Ce^{-c|n|}.
$$
This exponential decay underlies spectral convergence of Fourier approximation and periodic trapezoidal quadrature.
