Definitions

  1. The Fourier coefficient of a 2π2\pi-periodic function φ(x)\varphi(x), for nZn \in \mathbb{Z}, is: φ^(n)=02πφ(x)einxdx.\hat{\varphi}(n) = \int_0^{2\pi} \varphi(x) e^{-inx} dx.

  2. For an integrable function f(x):RCf(x) : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C}, the Fourier transform is: f^(ω)=f(x)eiωxdx.\hat{f}(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)e^{-i\omega x}dx.


Exercise 1

Let φ(x):(π,π)C\varphi(x) : (-\pi, \pi) \to \mathbb{C} be the piecewise function:

\begin{cases} \frac{\pi}{3} - \left|x - \frac{\pi}{3}\right| & \text{if } |x - \frac{\pi}{3}| \leq \frac{\pi}{3}, \\ 0 & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases}$$ The tasks are: (i) Compute the Fourier coefficients $$\hat{\varphi}(n)$$. (ii) Compute the coefficients $$\varphi * \hat{\varphi}(n)$$. (iii) Write the partial and complete Fourier series. (iv) Discuss convergence of $$s_n(\varphi)$$ to $$\varphi$$ in $$L^2[-\pi, \pi]$$. (v) Express $$s_\infty(\varphi)$$ using sines and cosines. (vi) Compute $$\int_{-\pi}^\pi |\varphi(x)|^2 dx$$. (vii) Use the results of (i) and (vi) to verify Parseval’s theorem. --- #### **Exercise 2** Let $$f(x) : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C}$$ be the function: $$f(x) = \left[(2x+3)^2 + 1\right] e^{-\frac{(2x+3)^2}{9}}.$$ The tasks are: (i) Compute the Fourier transform $$\hat{f}(\omega)$$. (ii) Compute $$\int_{-\infty}^\infty |f(x)|^2 dx$$. --- Would you like to proceed with specific sections or tackle them step-by-step? Let me know how detailed you want the solutions. --- ### Suggested Questions: 1. What is the role of Fourier coefficients in reconstructing a periodic function? 2. How is convergence in $$L^2[-\pi, \pi]$$ defined for Fourier series? 3. What is the significance of Parseval's theorem? 4. How does the Fourier transform relate to the Fourier series? 5. Why is $$\int_{-\infty}^\infty |f(x)|^2 dx$$ important in signal analysis? ### Tip: When solving Fourier problems, symmetry of the function (even or odd) can simplify the computation of coefficients. Always check for it!
