17. A function f is said to be periodic with period P (P being a nonzero constant)
if we have
for all values of x in the domain.
Periodic function
Trigonometric series
A trigonometric series is a series of the form:
It is called a Fourier series if the terms and have the form:
where f is an integrable function.

A Fourier series is an expansion of
a periodic function f(x) in terms of
an infinite sum of sines and
cosines.
Fourier series
With a Fourier series we are going to try to write a series representation
for on in the form,
So, a Fourier series is, in some way a combination of the Fourier sine and
Fourier cosine series.

Even and Odd Functions
They are special types of functions
Even Functions
A function is "even" when:
f(x) = f(−x) for all x
Odd Functions
A function is "odd" when:
−f(x) = f(−x) for all x

If a function is defined over half the range, say 0 to L, instead of the full range
from −L to L, it may be expanded in a series of sine terms only or of cosine terms
only. The series produced is then called a Half Range Fourier series.
Half-range Expansion
Conversely, the Fourier Series of an even or odd function can be analysed
using the half range definition.
An even function can be expanded using half its range from
0 to L or
−L to 0 or
L to 2L
That is, the range of integration is L.
Even function Half-range Expansion
21. 21
The Fourier series of the half range even function is given by:
for n=1,2,3,... , where
and bn=0
22. 22
Odd function Half-range Expansion
An odd function can be expanded using half its range from 0 to L, i.e. the range
of integration has value L. The Fourier series of the odd function is:
Since ao = 0 and an = 0, we have:

Oscillations
Consider a mass-spring system as before, where we have a mass m on a
spring with spring constant k , with damping c , and a force F (t) applied to
the mass. Suppose the forcing function F (t) is 2L -- periodic for some L > 0 .
The equation that governs this particular setup is :
24. 24
The general solution consists of the complementary solution xc , which solves
the associated homogeneous equation mx ′′ + cx′ + kx = 0 , and a particular
solution we call xp .
For c > 0 , the complementary solution xc will decay as time goes by.
Therefore, we are mostly interested in a particular solution xp that does not
decay and is periodic with the same period as F (t) .
We call this particular solution the steady periodic solution and we write it as
xsp as before. What will be new in this section is that we consider an arbitrary
forcing function F (t) instead of a simple cosine.
For simplicity, let us suppose that c = 0 . The problem with c > 0 is very similar.
The equation
has the general solution
25. 25
In the spirit of the last section and the idea of undetermined coefficients we
first write
Then we write a proposed steady periodic solution x as
where an and bn are unknowns. We plug x into the
differential equation and solve for an and bn in terms of cn
and dn .

Fourier integral
Let f(x) be a decaying (non-periodic ) function
• f(x) is given by “linear combination” of cos(λx) & sin(λx) with a
continuous interval of frequencies:
all real numbers λ ≥ 0.
