We denote by T the circle R/Z. {a) Let f: T+ C be an integrable function and k € Z. Define the Fourier coefficient F(k). {1 mark] (b) Give examples to show the following. You do not need to justify your answers. (i) There exist integrable functions f, 9: T > C such that f and g are equal almost everywhere, f is continuous, and g is not continuous. [1 mark] (ii) There exist integrable functions f, 9: T+ C such that f(k) = g(k) for all k € Z but f #9. [1 mark] (ii) There exist an integrable function f: T + € and a point t € T such that (Snf)(t) does not converge to f(t) as n + oo. (Here Spf denotes the nth Fourier partial sum of f.)
