If ψ(x) is a real-valued function which has a jump discontinuity at x = ε and otherwise satisfies the Dirichlet conditions in a neighbourhood of x = ε then {sn(x)} the sequence of partial sums of the Fourier series for ψ(x) cannot converge uniformly at x = ε. Moreover, it can be shown that given τ in [ — π, π] then there is a sequence {tn} such that tn → ε and

This behaviour of {sn(x)} is called the Gibbs phenomenon. If {σn(x)} is the transform of {sn(x)} by a summability method T, and if {σn(x)} also has the property described then we say that T preserves the Gibbs phenomenon.
