nperiodicity
n-periodicity is a mathematical concept describing a property of functions or sequences where a specific pattern repeats at regular intervals. Unlike traditional periodicity, which involves a single repeating interval, n-periodicity can involve multiple repeating intervals simultaneously. This means that a function or sequence might exhibit one type of repetition over a certain period, and a different type of repetition over another, or even combinations thereof.
For instance, a function could be considered 2-periodic and 3-periodic. This would imply that the function repeats
This concept finds applications in various fields, including signal processing, where signals can be composed of
