Congratulations on this excellent venture… what a great idea!

I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
where n is any nonnegative integer. The kernel functions are periodic with period .
The importance of the Dirichlet kernel comes from its relation to Fourier series. The convolution of Dn(x) with any function f of period 2π is the nth-degree Fourier series approximation to f, i.e., we have
where
is the kth Fourier coefficient of f. This implies that in order to study convergence of Fourier series it is enough to study properties of the Dirichlet kernel.

L1 norm of the kernel function
Of particular importance is the fact that the L1 norm of Dn on diverges to infinity as n → ∞. One can estimate that
By using a Riemann-sum argument to estimate the contribution in the largest neighbourhood of zero in which is positive, and Jensen's inequality for the remaining part, it is also possible to show that:
This lack of uniform integrability is behind many divergence phenomena for the Fourier series. For example, together with the uniform boundedness principle, it can be used to show that the Fourier series of a continuous function may fail to converge pointwise, in rather dramatic fashion. See convergence of Fourier series for further details.
A precise proof of the first result that is given by
The Dirichlet kernel is a periodic function which becomes the Dirac comb, i.e. the periodic delta function, in the limit
with the angular frequency .
This can be inferred from the autoconjugation property of the Dirichlet kernel under forward and inverse Fourier transform:
and goes to the Dirac comb of period as , which remains invariant under Fourier transform: . Thus must also have converged to as .
In a different vein, consider ∆(x) as the identity element for convolution on functions of period 2π. In other words, we have
for every function f of period 2π. The Fourier series representation of this "function" is
(This Fourier series converges to the function almost nowhere.) Therefore, the Dirichlet kernel, which is just the sequence of partial sums of this series, can be thought of as an approximate identity. Abstractly speaking it is not however an approximate identity of positive elements (hence the failures in pointwise convergence mentioned above).
If the sum is only over non-negative integers (which may arise when computing a discrete Fourier transform that is not centered), then using similar techniques we can show the following identity:
Another variant is and this can be easily proved by using an identity .[1]
