The Fourier Theorems
In this section the main Fourier theorems are stated and proved. It is no small matter how simple these theorems are in the DFT case relative to the other three cases (DTFT, Fourier transform, and Fourier series). When infinite summations or integrals are involved, the conditions for the existence of the Fourier transform can be quite difficult to characterize mathematically. Mathematicians have expended a considerable effort on such questions. By focusing primarily on the DFT case, we are able to study the essential concepts conveyed by the Fourier theorems without getting involved with mathematical difficulties.
