Localization principle
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
For any trigonometric series with coefficients tending to zero, the convergence or divergence of the series at some point depends on the behaviour of the so-called Riemann function in a neighbourhood of this point.
The Riemann function $F$ of a given trigonometric series
$$\frac{a_0}{2}+\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n\cos nx+b_n\sin nx$$
is the result of integrating it twice, that is,
$$F(x)=\frac{a_0}{4}x^2+Cx+D-\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{a_n\cos nx+b_n\sin nx}{n^2}.$$
There is a generalization of the localization principle for series with coefficients that do not tend to zero (see [2]).
