to the series

$$ \sigma = \ \frac{a _ {0} }{2} + \sum _ {n = 1 } ^ \infty a _ {n} \cos nx + b _ {n} \sin nx $$

The series

$$ \widetilde \sigma = \ \sum _ {n = 1 } ^ \infty - b _ {n} \cos nx + a _ {n} \sin nx. $$

These series are the real and imaginary parts, respectively, of the series

$$ \frac{a _ {0} }{2} + \sum _ {n = 1 } ^ \infty ( a _ {n} - ib _ {n} ) z ^ {n} $$

where $ z = e ^ {ix} $. The formula for the partial sums of the trigonometric series $ \widetilde \sigma [ f] $ conjugate to the Fourier series of $ f $ is

$$ \widetilde{S} _ {n} ( x) = \ { \frac{1} \pi } \int\limits _ {- \pi } ^ \pi f ( t) \widetilde{D} _ {n} ( t - x) dt, $$

where $ \widetilde{D} _ {n} ( x) $ is the conjugate Dirichlet kernel. If $ f $ is a function of bounded variation on $ [- \pi , \pi ] $, then a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of $ \widetilde \sigma [ f] $ at a point $ x _ {0} $ is the existence of the conjugate function (see Conjugate function Section 3) $ \widetilde{f} ( x _ {0} ) $, and this is then the sum of the series $ \widetilde \sigma [ f] $. If $ f $ is a summable function on $ [- \pi , \pi ] $, then $ \widetilde \sigma [ f] $ can be summed almost-everywhere by the method $ ( C, \alpha ) $, $ \alpha > 0 $, and by the Abel–Poisson method, and the sum coincides almost-everywhere with the conjugate of $ f $. If $ \widetilde{f} $ is summable, then the conjugate series $ \widetilde \sigma [ f] $ is its Fourier series. The function $ f $ need not be summable; in the case of generalizations of the Lebesgue integral such as the $ A $- integral and the Boks integral, the conjugate series $ \widetilde \sigma [ f] $ is always the Fourier series of the conjugate function.
