Diriclet Conditions

The conditions for a periodic function with period 2L to have a convergent Fourier series.

Theorem:

Let be a piecewise regular real-valued function defined on some interval [-L,L], such that has only a finite number of discontinuities and extrema in [-L,L]. Then the Fourier series of this function converges to when is continuous and to the arithmetic mean of the left-handed and right-handed limit of at a point where it is discontinuous.
