THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS AND SPECIFICITY OF MATHEMATICAL MODELLING

On the Fourier Transform for Periodic Functions

  • 1 Technical University of Gabrovo, Bulgaria

Abstract

The paper deals with some aspects of the presentation and application of periodic time-dependent functions in the Fourier analysis. Different approaches for defining and utilising periodic functions are considered. The case when one has only a discrete set of values obtained from measurement and the function itself is not known is also included. In general, the type and the shape of the corresponding frequency distribution is a point of interest and discussion.
The paper presents numerous examples which illustrate the proposed ideas.
