TRANSFORMS OF PERIODIC FUNCTIONS
Definition: Periodic Function
A periodic function is a function that repeats its values at regular intervals.
For example, the trigonometric functions, which repeat at intervals of 2𝜋 radians, are
periodic functions.
Periodic functions are used throughout science to describe oscillations, waves, and
other phenomena that exhibit periodicity. Any function that is not periodic is called
aperiodic.

Theorem:
If 𝑓(𝑡) is a piecewise continuous on any finite interval and periodic with period 𝜏 for

Properties: 1) Commutative: 𝑓 𝑡 ⋆ 𝑔 𝑡 = 𝑔 𝑡 ⋆ 𝑓 𝑡
2) Associative: 𝑓 𝑡 ⋆ 𝑔 𝑡 ⋆ ℎ 𝑡 = 𝑓 𝑡 ⋆𝑔 𝑡 ⋆ℎ 𝑡
3) Distributive: 𝑓 𝑡 ⋆ 𝑔 𝑡 + ℎ 𝑡 =𝑓 𝑡 ⋆𝑔 𝑡 +𝑓 𝑡 ⋆ℎ 𝑡
