H7.1) (Apr. 9, 45 pts. = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 10 + 10)
The complex form of Fourier’s theorem states that “every” complex-valued periodic
function f (t) of period 2π can be expressed as a series
X
f (t) =
cn eint
n∈Z
= · · · + c−2 e−2it + c−1 e−it + c0 + c1 eit + c2 e2it + · · · .
for some complex constants cn that are uniquely determined by f . (In the above, the
set of integers is denoted by Z = {. . . , −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, . . .}, so there is one term cn eint for each
integer n.) To understand such series, we extend the definition of the inner product to
complex-valued periodic functions f, g of period 2π: define
Z π
hf, gi :=
f (t)g(t) dt.
−π
(The reason for taking the complex conjugate of g(t) in the definition is so that hf, f i is always a
nonnegative realRnumber, so that it can be thought of as the square of a length.)
π
(a) Evaluate −π eint dt for every integer n ∈ Z. (If you prefer, you can integrate
from 0 to 2π instead, since for a periodic function of period 2π the integral over
any interval of width 2π will be the same.) Be careful not to divide by zero!
(b) Show that the infinitely many functions eint for n ∈ Z are orthogonal to each
other.
(c) Evaluate heint , eint i for every integer n.
(d) Find two different formulas for hf, eint i, one
P from the definition of the inner
product, and one from substituting f (t) = m∈Z cm eimt to get
X
hf, eint i =
cm heimt , eint i
m∈Z
and then evaluating the right hand side. Simplify the first formula so that it does
not involve a complex conjugate.
(e) Equate the two formulas above to find the formula for the Fourier coefficient cn
in terms of f , analogous to the formulas for an and bn when using cosines and
sines. (The nice thing about this complex formulation is that there is just one
formula for cn that works for all n ∈ Z.)
(f) Show that if f is real-valued, then c−n = cn for all n ∈ Z.
(g) Let Sq(t) be the square wave function defined in lecture. Find all the cn for this
function in two ways: first, convert each sine in the usual Fourier series to a linear
combination of complex exponential functions; second, use the formula for cn you
derived in part (e). Do the two results match?

(f) Solution 1: Use the complex Fourier coefficient formula

cn =

and apply complex conjugation to the whole universe:
Z π

cn =

2π −π
Thus c−n = cn .
Solution 2: Start with the Fourier series in terms of cosines and sines, and convert
to complex exponentials:
X

f (t) =

Thus the coefficients of eint and e−int are complex conjugates of each other (and
this holds even when n = 0, since then the coefficient is a0 /2, which, as a real
number, is its own complex conjugate).
Solution 3: Use that the Fourier coefficients are uniquely determined. Write f (t)
as
f (t) = · · · + c−2 e−2it + c−1 e−it + c0 + c1 eit + c2 e2it + · · · .
Taking complex conjugates gives
f (t) = · · · + c−2 e2it + c−1 eit + c0 + c1 e−it + c2 e−2it + · · · ,
since f (t), being real, is its own complex conjugate. But there can be only one
Fourier series for f , so the coefficient of e−int in each must match. This coefficient
is c−n in the first series, and cn in the second series, so c−n = cn .
(g) First way: Use the identity
sin t =
eit − e−it
2i
with t replaced by nt to get
Sq(t) =

Thus

The expression in parentheses is 0 if n is even, and −4 if n is odd, so

if n is even.
The two formulas for cn match (as they should, since the Fourier coefficients are
uniquely determined by the function).
H7.2) (Apr. 9, 20 pts. = 5 + 5 + 10)
The root mean square fRMS of a periodic real-valued function f is defined as the
square root of the average value of f (t)2 , where the average is computed over one
period. For example, if f has period 2L, then
s

fRMS =
f (t)2 dt.

(In electrical engineering, if V (t) represents a periodic voltage function, then the root mean square
voltage VRMS is the DC voltage (constant voltage) that supplies the same power to a resistor that
V (t) does on average. This is because power is V 2 /R.)
(a) What is the root mean square of the square wave function Sq(t) defined in lecture?
(b) If A and ω are positive real numbers, what is the root mean square of the sinusoidal function f (t) = A sin(ωt)?

for some real numbers an and bn . What is the root mean square of f (t) in terms
of the an and bn ?
Solution.
(a) Solution A: The value of Sq(t)2 is 1 at every t (except at isolated points, which
don’t affect the integral). Also, the period of Sq(t) is 2π, so L = π, and the root

mean square is

Solution B: The value of Sq(t)2 is 1 at every t (except at isolated points), so the
average value of Sq(t)2 is 1. The root mean square is the square root of this
average value, so it too is 1.
(b) Solution A: As explained in lecture, the average value of sin2 t on [−π, π] is
1/2. Stretching horizontally shows that the average value of sin2 (ωt) over one
2
2
complete period is 1/2. Thepaverage value of
√ (A sin ωt) is A (1/2), so the root
2
mean
√ square of A sin ωt is A (1/2) = A/ 2, which could also be written as
A 2/2.
Solution B: The smallest period of f (t) is 2π/ω, so take L = π/ω. Then the
root mean square is

(As a check, note that for f (t) = A sin mt, which has all the an and bn equal to 0 except for

bm = A, this formula gives A2 /2 = A/ 2, which agrees with part (b).)
H7.3) (Apr. 18, 35 pts. = 10 + 10 + 15)
Let s(t) be the sawtooth wave of period 2π such that s(t) = t for t ∈ (−π, π). Let
S(t) be the sawtooth wave of period 22 such that S(t) = t for t ∈ (−11, 11).
(a) What is the Fourier series of s(t)?
(b) What is the Fourier series of S(t)?
(c) Let x(t) be the periodic solution to
ẍ + 4x = S(t).
What two Fourier components of x(t) have the largest amplitude? (You may
want a calculator or computer for this one.)
Solution.

and from then on the absolute values of the Fourier coefficients are only smaller,
since the factors n and n2 π 2 − 222 in the denominator are positive and increasing
for n ≥ 8.
