The expansion of a function f(θ) of an angle θ varying between 0 and π in terms of a series proceeding by the sines of the multiples of θ depends on the fundamental theorem, ∫ π 0 sin pθ sin qθ dθ = 0, where p and q are integer numbers not equal to each other.

We consider the problem of deciding whether or not an affine hypersurface of equation f = 0, where f = f(x1, …, xn) is a polynomial in ℝ[x1, …, xn], crosses a bounded region 𝒯 of the real affine space 𝔸n. We perform a local study of the problem, and provide both necessary and sufficient numerical conditions to answer the question. Our conditions are based on the evaluation of f at a point p ∈ 𝒯, and derive from the analysis of the differential geometric properties of the hypersurface z = f(x1, …, xn) at p. We discuss an application of our results in the context of the Hough transform, a pattern recognition technique for the automated recognition of curves in images.
