How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2364757 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Riemann–Lebesgue lemma
The Riemann–Lebesgue lemma is a fundamental result in Fourier analysis stating that the Fourier coefficients (or transform) of an integrable function vanish at infinity.
-
B.
Dirac delta function
The Dirac delta function is a mathematical construct used in physics and engineering to model an idealized point mass or point charge, being zero everywhere except at a single point where it is infinitely large yet integrates to one.
-
C.
Nyquist theorem
The Nyquist theorem is a fundamental principle in signal processing that states a continuous signal can be perfectly reconstructed from its samples if it is sampled at more than twice its highest frequency component.
-
D.
Wiener–Khinchin theorem
The Wiener–Khinchin theorem is a fundamental result in signal processing and probability theory that relates a wide-sense stationary random process’s autocorrelation function to its power spectral density via the Fourier transform.
-
E.
Weierstrass function
The Weierstrass function is a classic example in mathematical analysis of a continuous function that is nowhere differentiable, illustrating the counterintuitive behavior possible in real-valued functions.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
