DefinitionIn mathematics, the Fourier transform of the difference of two piecewise continuous functions is a prperty of the Fourier transform which extends the concept of a Fourier series to functions which have two types of discontinuities. This is where this property comes into the picture where it states that the discrete frequencies component (harmonics) predict the presence of non-smooth portions of the function. Piecewise Continuous FunctionsThe usage of the Fourier transform of piecewise continuous functions to analyze signal in signal processing, to filter noise in image analysis, and to solve differential equations with discontinuous boundary conditions in mathematical physics. For instance, we can rephrase that the Fourier transform of a piecewise continuous function f(x) takes the following form F(ω)=∫f(x)e−2πiωxdx−∞∞, where F(ω) represents the frequency domain representation of the function
