A sufficiently smooth function of d variables that decays fast enough at infinity can be represented pointwise by an integral combination of Heaviside plane waves (i.e., characteristic functions of closed half‐spaces). The weight function in such a representation depends on the derivatives of the represented function. The represen‐tation is proved here by elementary techniques with separate arguments for even and odd d , and unifies and extends various results in the literature (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
