Dirichlet conditions (Theorem)

Let $ f$ be a piecewise regular real-valued function defined on some interval $ [a,b]$, such that $ f$ has only a finite number of discontinuities and extrema in $ [a,b]$. Then the Fourier series of this function converges to $ f$ when $ f$ is continuous and to the arithmetic mean of the left-handed and right-handed limit of $ f$ at a point where it is discontinuous.
