Fourier transform of the unit sphere
The Fourier transform of the volume form of the (n-1)-sphere in $\mathbf R^n$ is given by the well-known formula
$$
\int_{S^{n-1}}e^{i\langle\mathbf a,\mathbf u\rangle}d\sigma(\mathbf u) = (2\pi)^{\nu ...

General Fourier inversion formula (Gil-Pelaez)
Gil-Pelaez (1951) proves the Fourier inversion formula
\begin{align*}
F(x) &= \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_0^\infty \frac{e^{itx}\phi(-t)-e^{-itx}\phi(t)}{it}dt \\
&= \frac{1}{2} - \frac{...

How can discrete Fourier transform approximation prove the completeness of complex exponentials in $L^2(T)$?
I have a question about the completeness of complex exponentials in function spaces.
For the discrete set $ S = \{1, 2, \ldots, n\} $, it is clear and intuitive that $ e^{2\pi ikx/n} $ for $ k = 0, 1, ...
