The coefficients $a_n$ of the Fourier series (cf. Fourier series of an almost-periodic function) corresponding to the given almost-periodic function $f$:
$$f(x)\sim\sum_na_n e^{i\lambda_n}x,$$
where
$$a_n=M\{f(x)e^{-i\lambda_nx}\}=\lim_{T\to\infty}\frac1T\int\limits_0^Tf(x)e^{-i\lambda_nx}dx.$$
The coefficients $a_n$ are completely determined by the theorem on the existence of the mean value
$$a(\lambda)=M\{f(x)e^{-i\lambda x}\},$$
which is non-zero only for the countable set of values $\lambda=\lambda_n$.
