Behavior of
for c = πL (Nyquist sampling) and several values of L. For each value of L, the dotted vertical line represents n = 2c/π, and the dashed vertical line represents the first index n for which
, which we denote by
. First, we observe that 2c/π is the exact index for which
begins its rapid decay, and, second, it is evident that the difference between
and the estimate 2c/π grows extremely slowly with L, making the asymptotic estimate
sufficiently accurate even for moderate values of L.
