fourier

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

show that \(sgn(\sin \theta) sin^2 \theta = \frac{8}{\pi} \sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{sin ((2k-1)\theta)}{(2k-1)(3+4k-4k^2)}\)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(sgn(\sin \theta) =\dfrac{|sin \theta|}{\sin\theta}\times \sin^2\theta\) can that just be \(sgn(\sin \theta) =|\sin\theta|.\sin\theta\) that would be more like sin^2\theta \theta but we need to treat the sign lol idk i can see it more clear from here xD lets roll fourier in next step!

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

\[sgn(\sin \theta) =\dfrac{|sin \theta|}{\sin\theta}\] no need for the extra bit :-))

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

its even function anyway so we need to find \( b_n\) only xD right ?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

then Fourier would be \(f(x)=\sum b_k \sin (k\theta)\)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

HOW could it be odd :O, i made a test and i got even xD

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(\Large b_k=\dfrac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}|\sin \theta| \sin\theta ~d \theta=\dfrac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi}|\sin \theta| \sin\theta ~d \theta \) and since \(\pi \ge \theta \ge 0\) then \(\sin \theta \ge 0\) so \(\Large b_k=\dfrac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin^2\theta ~d \theta \)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

first try to know if ur function is odd\even by testing then do ur summation. test if f(x)=f(-x) even if f(x)=-f(x) odd if neither then Fourier failed , if both anything work.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

i have forgotten a part ... pardon

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(\Large b_k=\dfrac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}|\sin \theta| \sin\theta \color{red}{\sin k\theta }~d \theta=\dfrac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi}|\sin \theta| \sin\theta \color{red}{\sin k\theta } ~d \theta \) and since π≥θ≥0 then sinθ≥0 then \(\Large b_k=\dfrac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin^2\theta \color{red}{\sin k\theta } ~d \theta \)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

cool so far ? or have a question ?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

why only in 0< x < pi surely a full period is needed, @ikram002p ??

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

its only as translating limits of integral to evaluate b_k and not Fourier itself http://prntscr.com/9pdwk9

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

just away to make integral of \( b_k\) solvable without the sh!ty \( | sin \theta|\)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

could we recall this on skype ? *i didn't get ur question*

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

you don't need to deal with integrals and differentials of sgn(x) and |x| its crap :P just simplify to get an easy method or integral hahaha

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

Naa with fourier , you just need to recall even\odd functions properties and life will be easy :P

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

so here is full description for the question \(sgn(\sin\theta)\) is odd, and \(\sin \theta\) is odd \(f(\theta)=sgn(\sin\theta)\sin \theta \) test \(f(-\theta)=sgn(\sin-\theta)\sin- \theta =sgn(-\sin\theta)\times-\sin \theta=-sgn(\sin\theta)\times-\sin \theta \\=sgn(\sin\theta)\sin \theta =f(\theta)\) so its even.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

oh done with it already @IrishBoy123 ?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

i was gonna repeat everything xD

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

damn :'( wadle wadle i made the wrong test

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ok we need \(a_n\) xD grapes... a little sorry to confuse u :-\

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

@IrishBoy123 lets start over okay ?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(f(\theta)=sgn(\sin\theta)\sin\theta=|\sin\theta|\sin\theta \) is an odd function. \(a_0=0,a_k=0\), so we need \(b_k \) \( b_k=\dfrac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}|\sin \theta| \sin\theta \color{red}{\sin k\theta }~d \theta=\dfrac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi}|\sin \theta| \sin\theta \color{red}{\sin k\theta } ~d \theta\\ =\dfrac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin^2\theta \color{red}{\sin k\theta } ~d \theta \) ermm

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

i liked the song @IrishBoy123 <3

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(b_k=\dfrac{2}{\pi} \dfrac{2\cos(\pi k)-2}{k^3-4k} =\frac{4}{\pi} \dfrac{\cos(\pi k)-1}{k^3-4k}\)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

u wanna learn how to do the integral or how to move from here and evaluate the series ?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

both. @ikram002p

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(b_k =\dfrac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin^2\theta \sin k\theta ~d \theta \\ =\dfrac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi} (1-\cos^2\theta) \sin k\theta ~d \theta =\dfrac{2}{\pi}[\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin k\theta ~d \theta-\int_{0}^{\pi} \cos^2\theta \sin k\theta ~d\theta ]\)

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

yep, but over a half period ?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\( \int_{0}^{\pi} \sin k\theta ~d \theta \) let \(u=k\theta ,d\theta=1/k ~du\) thus \( \int_{0}^{\pi} \sin k\theta ~d \theta= \frac{1}{k} \int_{0}^{n\pi} \sin u ~d u= \frac{1}{k} [ 1-cos(k\theta)]\) \) \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \cos^2\theta \sin k\theta ~d\theta \) integrate by parts ,

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

i thought u wanna see how to solve, listen b_k is just a constant we don't care about its period, what matter us is \(sin(k\theta)\) in the other part of series which is periodic on (-pi,pi) by default.. .. this is a reference if u feel dull about the formula http://mathworld.wolfram.com/FourierSeries.html
