Unit - I Fourier Series 11 Introduction In Differential Calculus we are familiar with the expansion of a differentiable function f(x) inthe form of a power series. Taylor’sseriesof f(x) about x = @ isan infinite series in ascending powers of (x —a) and Maclaurin’s series is an infinite series in s it becomes necessary to expand ascending powers of v. In many engineering, problet a given function f(x) ina series containing, cosine and sine terms which belongs to a class of functions called periodic functions. In this unit we discuss various aspects of such series referred to as Fourier series. As a preamble we briefly present two concepts connected with infinite sereies of positive terms. [12] Convergence and Divergence of infinite series of positive terms If v,, is a function of n defined for all integral values of 1, an expression of the form uy diy bug te bu, +e- > containing infinite number of terms is called an infinite series usually denoted by S)u,, or simply 3° 4, ei 1, is called the n'" term or the general term of the infinite series. The sum of the first n terms of the series is denoted by s,.

[1.3] Periodic functions A real valued function f(«) is said to be periodic of period Tif f(x+T) = f(x), T>0. k (constant), sin x, cos x are periodic functions of period 2n as we know from trigonometry that sin(v+2n) =sinx, cos(x+2n) = cosx Also if f(x) = & then f(x+2r) = k Further we also have a property stating, that A linear combination of periodic functions having period T is also periodic of period T. 14| Trigonometric series and Euler’s formulae The functions k, cos mx, sinuy (m= 1, 2, 3, ...) are alll periodic functions of period 2. Taking the constant k = q)/2,, the linear combination of all the periodic functions is of the form : + Ya, cosax+ Yb, sinnx n= ne where @,,0, (7 = 1, 2, 3, ...) are all constants is called a Trigonometric series. Hence any function f(x) expressible as trigonometric series of the above form must also be periodic with period 2r. We shall assume that f(x) is defined in an interval of length 2z, say (c, ¢+2m) and be considered as periodic with period 2n. Then we have, wo c+2n ° ct+on \ 1 - f sn _ , , ay = = J fora a= J Fexyeosnedy by a { F(x) sinny ax The expressions for finding a), @,,, b, are called Euler's formulae. These can be established with the help of the following basic formulae 4 FOURIER SERIES c+ ln c+2n af cosmedy = 0 = J sinned where 1 is a positive integer e+ 20 e+2n 2, f cosmecosnrdy = 0= f sinmr sinnedx where m and are positive integers ,m #1 ext j nimx cosnxdx = 0 where m and n are positive integers. c+2n c+2n a fee medy == J sin? nx dx where 11 is a positive integer Proof of Euler's formulae a Let fix) =-5 + Yi a, cosnx + > b, sin nx a) = =i ned Integrating (1) w.antx trome to ¢ + 2, c+2n c+ 2n sa, Joosnxdy+ 3b, fF sinicds r% xn é ‘ n=l ¢ n= 0 e+ 2n we Next, taking the expanded form of (1), multiplying by cos nx and integrating wirtx from ¢ to c+ 2m we have, FOURIER SERIES OF PERIOD 2% 5 c+2n e+ in c+ 2i . 1 fox) cosmvdy = 5) J cosnedvt+a, | cosnx-cosxdx e+2n e+2n + ay f cos nx cos 2xdx+e++ + 4), J cos’ nx dx+ e ¢ e+2n 4b, fsinxeosindytby ff sin 2x cosmedys-- Using the basic results appropriately onto the R.H.S of the above we have, rf IPPTop! s e+ On J f08) cosmydx = 0404-44, m40404 0 =a, 2 e+in 1 . 4 f f(x) cos nv dx +B) Similarly, multiplying the expanded form of (1) by sin 1 and proceeding on thesame lines we obtain +n b, “= J foxy sinns dx a) Thus we have established Ender's forniutae. Remark : Tye constant term in the series (1) is taken as ay’2 so.as fo make the formula derived for a, valid for the particular case 11 = 0 as well as for any positive integer n 15) Fourier Series of period 2 Suppose we form the trigonometric series from f(x) defined in (¢, c+ 2m) with the help of Euler’s formulae we cannot conclude that the series will converge to f(x). We can only say that when f(x) isof the form (1) the coefficients of the terms in the series are given by the formulae (2), (3), (4). We now proceed to state the conditions known as Dirichlet’s conditions under which theexpansionof f(x) asa trigonometricserieswillconvergeto f(x) ateverypoint ofcontinuity. 1. f(x) is single valued and finite in the interval (c, c+2m) 2. f(x) is periodicwith period 21 6 FOURIER SERIES 3. f(x) has only afinite number of discontinuities in (¢, ¢+ 2a) 4. f(r) hasat the mosta finitenumber of maximaandminimain (¢, ¢+2n). Thus we can say that, if f(x) i defined in (c, c+2m) and satisfies Dirichlet’s conditions, then the trigonometric series (1) is called as the Fourier ser of F(X) in (c, 42m), The constants 24, @,,, },,a8 given by (2), (3), A) respectively are called Fourier coefficients Remark : If f(x) is discontinuous at x, then the series (1) converges to 1 : 2 9 [FG ya f(x | of f(x) gioen by phere f(x"). f(x) are respectively right hand and left hand limits i f(xtay, fo) =H firey, bee a0 ho0 fat) i However at the enc points f(x) converges to | fC + fC +2n) | Note: Bernoulli's generalized rule of integration by parts White finding the Fourier coefficients, in most of the problens ae lurve to perfornt integration oft product with the first function as a polystonnial in x.

Remark : 1! fs also possible to deduce a particular series from the Fourivr series of a given f(x) ina given interval. We have to substitute a suitable value for x in the given interval. Normally we take the values to be etther of the end points or the middle point. The resulting serivs will be equal to the value as discussed in convergence. WORKED PROBLEMS x of f(xy =" 1.
