1.
We know that a function defined on the interval can be expanded into Fourier series:
(1.1)
Where
(1.2)
If is an even function, then is an odd function.
If is an odd function, then is an odd function.
When we integrate an odd function over a symmetric interval, the result is identically 0.
Therefore the Fourier coefficients in these cases are:
(1.3)
Furthermore, sue to the symmetry of the even integrands we can write:
(1.4)
Any function can be written as a sum of an odd and even functions:
(1.5)
Where the even part is:
(1.6)
While the odd part is:
(1.7)
If the function is defined on the interval we can expand it into an even function on the interval :
(1.8)
We can expand it into an odd function on the interval :
(1.9)
Then we can expand the function into either a cosine series (even expansion) or a sine series (odd expansion).
In our case L=1 and
(1.10)
It is easy to see that
(1.11)
And the even expansion is:
(1.12)
It looks like:
Since this is the even expansion we get only a cosine series where:
(1.13)
And:
(1.14)
We use the auxiliary integrals (integrating by parts twice):
(1.15)
And:
(1.16)
Thus we get:
