A periodic discontinuity requires an infinite number of terms to
resolve.
** No real world one does - since it is band limited.
The real world is continuous. There are no band limited discontinuities.
** Cos there are no true discontinuities in the real world at all.
They are a mathematical abstraction.
A simple fact that counters the insane rubbish you are preaching.
No, I said "A periodic discontinuity requires an infinite number of terms
to resolve.", which is true.
** A simple, mathematical discontinuity has ** infinite** bandwidth.
However, real world discontinuities have limited bandwidth and hence a non
infinite series expansion - so they CAN be exactly represented by a
series of sine waves.
BTW
Allison's Theorem says:
" Iveson is an ass. "
Iveson himself keeps proving the rightness of this theorem.
