ATS theorem
In mathematics, the ATS theorem is the theorem on the approximation of a
trigonometric sum by a shorter one. The application of the ATS theorem in certain problems of mathematical and theoretical physics can be very helpful.
History of the problem
In some fields of mathematics and mathematical physics, sums of the form
:
S = \sum_{a are under study. Here and are real valued functions of a real argument, and Such sums appear, for example, in number theory in the analysis of the Riemann zeta function, in the solution of problems connected with integer points in the domains on plane and in space, in the study of the Fourier series, and in the solution of such differential equations as the wave equation, the potential equation, the heat conductivity equation. The problem of approximation of the series (1) by a suitable function was studied already by Euler and We shall define the length of the sum to be the number (for the integers and this is the number of the summands in ). Under certain conditions on and the sum can be substituted with good accuracy by another sum : S_1 = \sum_{\alpha where the length is far less than First relations of the form : S = S_1 + R , \qquad (3) where are the sums (1) and (2) respectively, is a remainder term, with concrete functions and were obtained by G.

ATS theorem
Let the real functions ƒ(x) and satisfy on the segment [a, b] the following conditions:
1) and are continuous;''
2) there exist numbers
and such that
::
:and
::
\begin{array}{rc}
\frac{1}{U} \ll f''(x) \ll \frac{1}{U} \ ,& \varphi(x) \ll H ,\\ \\
f'''(x) \ll \frac{1}{UV} \ ,& \varphi'(x) \ll \frac{H}{V} ,\\ \\
f(x) \ll \frac{1}{UV^2} \ ,& \varphi''(x) \ll \frac{H}{V^2} . \\ \\
\end{array}
Then, if we define the numbers from the equation
:
f'(x_\mu) = \mu,
we have
:
\sum_{a< \mu\le b} \varphi(\mu)e^{2\pi i f(\mu)} = \sum_{f'(a)\le\mu\le
f'(b)}C(\mu)Z(\mu) + R ,
where
:
R = O
\left(\frac{HU}{b-a} + HT_a + HT_b +
H\log\left(f'(b)-f'(a)+2\right)\right);
:
T_j =
\begin{cases}
0, & \text{if } f'(j) \text{ is an integer}; \\
\min\left(\frac{1}{\|f'(j)\|}, \sqrt{U}\right), &
\text{if } \|f'(j)\| \ne 0; \\
\end{cases}
:
C(\mu) =
\begin{cases}
1, & \text{if } f'(a) < \mu < f'(b) ; \\
\frac{1}{2},& \text{if }
\mu = f'(a)\text{ or }\mu = f'(b) ;\\
\end{cases}
:
Z(\mu) = \frac{1+i}{\sqrt2} \frac{\varphi(x_\mu)}{\sqrt{f''(x_\mu)}} e^{2\pi i(f(x_\mu)- \mu x_\mu)} \ .
The most simple variant of the formulated theorem is the statement, which is called in the literature the Van der Corput lemma.

Let be a real differentiable function in the interval moreover, inside of this interval, its derivative is a monotonic and a sign-preserving function, and for the constant such that satisfies the inequality Then

Remark
If the parameters and are integers, then it is possible to substitute the last relation by the following ones:
