Dini Test
In mathematics, the Dini and Dini–Lipschitz tests are highly precise tests that can be used to prove that the Fourier series of a function converges at a given point. These tests are named after Ulisse Dini and Rudolf Lipschitz. Definition Let be a function on ,2 let be some point and let be a positive number. We define the local modulus of continuity at the point by :\left.\right.\omega_f(\delta;t)=\max_ , f(t)-f(t+\varepsilon), Notice that we consider here to be a periodic function, e.g. if and is negative then we define . The global modulus of continuity (or simply the modulus of continuity) is defined by :\omega_f(\delta) = \max_t \omega_f(\delta;t) With these definitions we may state the main results: :Theorem (Dini's test): Assume a function satisfies at a point that ::\int_0^\pi \frac\omega_f(\delta;t)\,\mathrm\delta < \infty. :Then the Fourier series of converges at to . For example, the theorem holds with but does not hold with . :Theorem ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Fourier Series
A Fourier series () is a summation of harmonically related sinusoidal functions, also known as components or harmonics. The result of the summation is a periodic function whose functional form is determined by the choices of cycle length (or ''period''), the number of components, and their amplitudes and phase parameters. With appropriate choices, one cycle (or ''period'') of the summation can be made to approximate an arbitrary function in that interval (or the entire function if it too is periodic). The number of components is theoretically infinite, in which case the other parameters can be chosen to cause the series to converge to almost any ''well behaved'' periodic function (see Pathological and Dirichlet–Jordan test). The components of a particular function are determined by ''analysis'' techniques described in this article. Sometimes the components are known first, and the unknown function is ''synthesized'' by a Fourier series. Such is the case of a discrete-ti ...

Function (mathematics)
In mathematics, a function from a set to a set assigns to each element of exactly one element of .; the words map, mapping, transformation, correspondence, and operator are often used synonymously. The set is called the domain of the function and the set is called the codomain of the function.Codomain ''Encyclopedia of Mathematics'Codomain. ''Encyclopedia of Mathematics''/ref> The earliest known approach to the notion of function can be traced back to works of Persian mathematicians Al-Biruni and Sharaf al-Din al-Tusi. Functions were originally the idealization of how a varying quantity depends on another quantity. For example, the position of a planet is a ''function'' of time. Historically, the concept was elaborated with the infinitesimal calculus at the end of the 17th century, and, until the 19th century, the functions that were considered were differentiable (that is, they had a high degree of regularity). The concept of a function was formalized at the end of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ulisse Dini
Ulisse Dini (14 November 1845 – 28 October 1918) was an Italian mathematician and politician, born in Pisa. He is known for his contribution to real analysis, partly collected in his book "''Fondamenti per la teorica delle funzioni di variabili reali''". Life and academic career Dini attended the Scuola Normale Superiore in order to become a teacher. One of his professors was Enrico Betti. In 1865, a scholarship enabled him to visit Paris, where he studied under Charles Hermite as well as Joseph Bertrand, and published several papers. In 1866, he was appointed to the University of Pisa, where he taught algebra and geodesy. In 1871, he succeeded Betti as professor for analysis and geometry. From 1888 until 1890, Dini was ''rettore'' of the Pisa University, and of the ''Scuola Normale Superiore'' from 1908 until his death in 1918. He was also active as a politician: in 1871 he was voted into the Pisa city council, and in 1880, he became a member of the Italian parliament. Hono ...

Rudolf Lipschitz
Rudolf Otto Sigismund Lipschitz (14 May 1832 – 7 October 1903) was a German mathematician who made contributions to mathematical analysis (where he gave his name to the Lipschitz continuity condition) and differential geometry, as well as number theory, algebras with involution and classical mechanics. Biography Rudolf Lipschitz was born on 14 May 1832 in Königsberg. He was the son of a landowner and was raised at his father's estate at Bönkein which was near Königsberg. He entered the University of Königsberg when he was 15, but later moved to the University of Berlin where he studied with Gustav Dirichlet. Despite having his studies delayed by illness, in 1853 Lipschitz graduated with a PhD in Berlin. After receiving his PhD, Lipschitz started teaching at local Gymnasiums. In 1857 he married Ida Pascha, the daughter of one of the landowners with an estate near to his father's. In 1857 he earned his habilitation at the University of Bonn and remained there as a privatdoze ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Modulus Of Continuity
In mathematical analysis, a modulus of continuity is a function ω : , ∞→ , ∞used to measure quantitatively the uniform continuity of functions. So, a function ''f'' : ''I'' → R admits ω as a modulus of continuity if and only if :, f(x)-f(y), \leq\omega(, x-y, ), for all ''x'' and ''y'' in the domain of ''f''. Since moduli of continuity are required to be infinitesimal at 0, a function turns out to be uniformly continuous if and only if it admits a modulus of continuity. Moreover, relevance to the notion is given by the fact that sets of functions sharing the same modulus of continuity are exactly equicontinuous families. For instance, the modulus ω(''t'') := ''kt'' describes the k-Lipschitz functions, the moduli ω(''t'') := ''kt''α describe the Hölder continuity, the modulus ω(''t'') := ''kt''(, log ''t'', +1) describes the almost Lipschitz class, and so on. In general, the role of ω is to fix some explicit functional dependence of ε on δ in the (ε, δ) definiti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Big O Notation
Big ''O'' notation is a mathematical notation that describes the limiting behavior of a function when the argument tends towards a particular value or infinity. Big O is a member of a family of notations invented by Paul Bachmann, Edmund Landau, and others, collectively called Bachmann–Landau notation or asymptotic notation. The letter O was chosen by Bachmann to stand for ''Ordnung'', meaning the order of approximation. In computer science, big O notation is used to classify algorithms according to how their run time or space requirements grow as the input size grows. In analytic number theory, big O notation is often used to express a bound on the difference between an arithmetical function and a better understood approximation; a famous example of such a difference is the remainder term in the prime number theorem. Big O notation is also used in many other fields to provide similar estimates. Big O notation characterizes functions according to their growth rates: d ...

Convergence Of Fourier Series
In mathematics, the question of whether the Fourier series of a periodic function convergent series, converges to a given function (mathematics), function is researched by a field known as classical harmonic analysis, a branch of pure mathematics. Convergence is not necessarily given in the general case, and certain criteria must be met for convergence to occur. Determination of convergence requires the comprehension of pointwise convergence, uniform convergence, absolute convergence, Lp space, ''L''''p'' spaces, summability methods and the Cesàro mean. Preliminaries Consider ''f'' an Lebesgue integration, integrable function on the interval . For such an ''f'' the Fourier coefficients \widehat(n) are defined by the formula :\widehat(n)=\frac\int_0^f(t)e^\,\mathrmt, \quad n \in \Z. It is common to describe the connection between ''f'' and its Fourier series by :f \sim \sum_n \widehat(n) e^. The notation ~ here means that the sum represents the function in some sense.

Dini Continuity
In mathematical analysis, Dini continuity is a refinement of continuity. Every Dini continuous function is continuous. Every Lipschitz continuous function is Dini continuous. Definition Let X be a compact subset of a metric space (such as \mathbb^n), and let f:X\rightarrow X be a function from X into itself. The modulus of continuity of f is :\omega_f(t) = \sup_ d(f(x),f(y)). The function f is called Dini-continuous if :\int_0^1 \frac\,dt < \infty. An equivalent condition is that, for any , : where is the of . See also * |

In mathematics, Dini's criterion is a condition for the pointwise convergence of Fourier series, introduced by . Statement Dini's criterion states that if a periodic function ' has the property that (f(t)+f(-t))/t is locally integrable In mathematics, a locally integrable function (sometimes also called locally summable function) is a function which is integrable (so its integral is finite) on every compact subset of its domain of definition.
