 G(ω) is a continuous function of ω and is as many times differentiable as we want.  How many local extrema (min/max) does G(ω) have in the range ?  In order to answer the above question, we have to write cos(ωn) as a sum of powers of cos(ω). 4 : sum of powers of cos(ω) Hossein Sameti, Dept. of Computer Eng., Sharif University of Technology

Assumptions:  F: union of closed intervals  G(x) to be a polynomial of order L:  D = Desired function that is continuous in F.  W= positive function 17

 The necessary and sufficient conditions for G(x) to be unique Lth order polynomial that minimizes is that E(x) exhibits at least L+2 alternations, i.e., there are at least L+2 values of x such that 18 for a polynomial of degree 4 Hossein Sameti, Dept. of Computer Eng., Sharif University of Technology

19 Recall G(ω) can have at most L+1 local extrema. According to the alternation theorem, G(ω) should have at least L+2 alternations(local extrema) in F. Contradiction!?

20 can also be alternation frequencies, although they are not local extrema. G(ω) can have at most L+3 local extrema in F. Ex: Polynomial of degree 7 Hossein Sameti, Dept. of Computer Eng., Sharif University of Technology

21  According to the alternation theorem, we have at least L+2 alternations.  According to our current argument, we have at most L+3 local extrema.  Conclusion: we have either L+2 or L+3 alternations in F for the optimal case.

 For Type I low-pass filters, alternations always occur at  If not, we potentially lose two alternations. 24 Hossein Sameti, Dept. of Computer Eng., Sharif University of Technology

26  For optimal type I low-pass filters, alternations always occur at If not, two alternations are lost and the filter is no longer optimal.  Filter will be equi-ripple except possibly at Hossein Sameti, Dept. of Computer Eng., Sharif University of Technology
