A triangular wave is a continuous piecewise linear periodic function whose slope alternates between two values. The even 2π-periodic extension of bx from [0,π] is P(s)=b∣s−2kπ∣ for (2k−1)π≤s≤(2k+1)π. 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.
