Theorem 2.1 in Stein and Shakarachi Fourier Analysis.(uniqueness of Fourier Series)

396 Views Asked by At

The Book States the following Theorem:

Suppose that $f$ is an integrable function on the circle with $\hat{f}(n) = 0$ for all n\in $\mathbb{Z}.$ Then $f(\theta_{o})=0$ whenever $f$ is continuous at the point $\theta_{o}$.

I do not understand the statement of the theorem and how to link it with the remark preceding it which states that: " if $f$ and $g$ have the same Fourier Coefficients, then $f$&$g$ are necessarily equal." and the book said that"by taking the difference $f - g,$ this proposition can be reformulated as: if $\hat{f}(n) = 0$ for all $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, then $f = 0.$"

Could anyone explain this for me?

Thanks.
