The Gibbs phenomenon refers to the oscillations that occur near discontinuities when approximating a function using a Fourier series. Here is how you can observe the Gibbs phenomenon in MATLAB:
main.m119 chars4 lines
main.m92 chars6 lines
main.m192 chars7 lines
main.m114 chars6 lines
main.m114 chars6 lines
When you run this code, you will observe that the Fourier series approximation of the square wave exhibits oscillations near the discontinuities. These oscillations are known as the Gibbs phenomenon.
