<h2 id="properties">Properties</h2> <p>The <a href="/facts/Zero_crossing/g70XI9o6">zero crossings</a> of the unnormalized sinc are at non-zero integer multiples of π, while zero crossings of the normalized sinc occur at non-zero integers. </p><p>The local maxima and minima of the unnormalized sinc correspond to its intersections with the <a href="/facts/Cosine/czej7ur0">cosine</a> function. That is, sin(<i>ξ</i>)/<i>ξ</i> = cos(<i>ξ</i>) for all points ξ where the derivative of sin(<i>x</i>)/<i>x</i> is zero and thus a local extremum is reached. This follows from the derivative of the sinc function: d d x sinc ( x ) = { cos ( x ) − sinc ( x ) x , x ≠ 0 0 , x = 0 . {\displaystyle {\frac {d}{dx}}\operatorname {sinc} (x)={\begin{cases}{\dfrac {\cos(x)-\operatorname {sinc} (x)}{x}},&x\neq 0\\0,&x=0\end{cases}}.} </p><p>The first few terms of the infinite series for the x coordinate of the n-th extremum with positive x coordinate are x n = q − q − 1 − 2 3 q − 3 − 13 15 q − 5 − 146 105 q − 7 − ⋯ , {\displaystyle x_{n}=q-q^{-1}-{\frac {2}{3}}q^{-3}-{\frac {13}{15}}q^{-5}-{\frac {146}{105}}q^{-7}-\cdots ,} where q = ( n + 1 2 ) π , {\displaystyle q=\left(n+{\frac {1}{2}}\right)\pi ,} and where odd n lead to a local minimum, and even n to a local maximum. Because of symmetry around the y axis, there exist extrema with x coordinates −<i>xn</i>. In addition, there is an absolute maximum at <i>ξ</i>0 = (0, 1). </p><p>The normalized sinc function has a simple representation as the <a href="/facts/Infinite_product/qaaNh5PM">infinite product</a>: sin ( π x ) π x = ∏ n = 1 ∞ ( 1 − x 2 n 2 ) {\displaystyle {\frac {\sin(\pi x)}{\pi x}}=\prod _{n=1}^{\infty }\left(1-{\frac {x^{2}}{n^{2}}}\right)} </p> <p>and is related to the <a href="/facts/Gamma_function/SjGQcnyw">gamma function</a> Γ(<i>x</i>) through <a href="/facts/Euler%2527s_reflection_formula/aKUhTbH0">Euler's reflection formula</a>: sin ( π x ) π x = 1 Γ ( 1 + x ) Γ ( 1 − x ) . {\displaystyle {\frac {\sin(\pi x)}{\pi x}}={\frac {1}{\Gamma (1+x)\Gamma (1-x)}}.} </p><p><a href="/facts/Euler/p8ezh3mG">Euler</a> discovered<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> that sin ( x ) x = ∏ n = 1 ∞ cos ( x 2 n ) , {\displaystyle {\frac {\sin(x)}{x}}=\prod _{n=1}^{\infty }\cos \left({\frac {x}{2^{n}}}\right),} and because of the product-to-sum identity<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> </p> <p> ∏ n = 1 k cos ( x 2 n ) = 1 2 k − 1 ∑ n = 1 2 k − 1 cos ( n − 1 / 2 2 k − 1 x ) , ∀ k ≥ 1 , {\displaystyle \prod _{n=1}^{k}\cos \left({\frac {x}{2^{n}}}\right)={\frac {1}{2^{k-1}}}\sum _{n=1}^{2^{k-1}}\cos \left({\frac {n-1/2}{2^{k-1}}}x\right),\quad \forall k\geq 1,} Euler's product can be recast as a sum sin ( x ) x = lim N → ∞ 1 N ∑ n = 1 N cos ( n − 1 / 2 N x ) . {\displaystyle {\frac {\sin(x)}{x}}=\lim _{N\to \infty }{\frac {1}{N}}\sum _{n=1}^{N}\cos \left({\frac {n-1/2}{N}}x\right).} </p><p>The <a href="/facts/Continuous_Fourier_transform/XXhKJtc8">continuous Fourier transform</a> of the normalized sinc (to ordinary frequency) is <a href="/facts/Rectangular_function/cVm8QG4F">rect</a>(<i>f</i>): ∫ − ∞ ∞ sinc ( t ) e − i 2 π f t d t = rect ( f ) , {\displaystyle \int _{-\infty }^{\infty }\operatorname {sinc} (t)\,e^{-i2\pi ft}\,dt=\operatorname {rect} (f),} where the <a href="/facts/Rectangular_function/cVm8QG4F">rectangular function</a> is 1 for argument between −1/2 and 1/2, and zero otherwise.
