Abstract

Over a finite interval, a Gaussian stationary process can be approximated by a finite trigonometric sum, and the error introduced by the approximation can be exactly bounded, as far as the distribution of the upper tail of the maximum is concerned. A simple case is exhibited, where a narrow band process is well approximated by means of a two-term trigonometric representation.
