CHAPTER 11 Fourier Analysis
SECTION 11.1. Fourier Series, page 474
Purpose. To derive the Euler formulas (6) for the coefficients of a Fourier series (5) of a given function of period , using as the key property the orthogonality of the trigonometric system.
Main Content, Important Concepts Periodic function
Trigonometric system, its orthogonality (Theorem 1) Fourier series (5) with Fourier coefficients (6) Representation by a Fourier series (Theorem 2) Comment on Notation
If we write instead of in (1), we must do the same in (6.0) and see that (6.0) then becomes (6a) with . This is merely a small notational convenience (but may be a source of confusion to poorer students).
Comment on Fourier Series
Whereas their theory is quite involved, practical applications are simple, once the student has become used to evaluating integrals in (6) that depend on n.
Figure 260 should help students understand why and how a series of continuous terms can have a discontinuous sum.
Comment on the History of Fourier Series
Fourier series were already used in special problems by Daniel Bernoulli (1700–1782) in 1748 (vibrating string, Sec. 12.3) and Euler (Sec. 2.5) in 1754. Fourier’s book of 1822 became the source of many mathematical methods in classical mathematical physics.
Furthermore, the surprising fact that Fourier series, whose terms are continuous functions, may represent discontinuous functions led to a reflection on, and generalization of, the concept of a function in general. Hence the book is a landmark in both pure and applied mathematics. [That surprising fact also led to a controversy between Euler and D. Bernoulli over the question of whether the two types of solution of the vibrating string problem (Secs. 12.3 and 12.4) are identical; for details, see E. T. Bell, The Development of Mathematics, New York: McGraw-Hill, 1940, p. 482.] A mathematical theory of Fourier series was started by Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet (1805–1859) of Berlin in 1829. The concept of the Riemann integral also resulted from work on Fourier series. Later on, these series became the model case in the theory of orthogonal functions (Sec. 5.7). An English translation of Fourier’s book was published by Dover Publications in 1955.
Further Comments on Text and Problems
Figure 260, showing the rectangular periodic wave and partial sums of its Fourier series, is typical and should give the student an intuitive feel for convergence of Fourier series, notably of their behavior near discontinuities. The latter are of great practical importance, as will appear as we proceed.

The essential property of the trigonometric system is its orthogonality. Other orthogonal systems will follow later in connection with families of solutions of linear ODEs (Legendre polynomials, Bessel functions, etc.).
The integrals needed for Fourier coefficients are those of calculus, but their dependence on n will create a new situation, and the student will need some time and particular attention to become familiar with them.
Problem 25 suggests that students look critically at the speed of convergence, which will depend on the power of in the Fourier coefficients, which in turn depends on continuity of to be developed.
The figures in Probs. 16–21 should help students to get familiar with “piecewise given” functions, as they will occur in practical work on potential problems, heat flow, and so on.

SECTION 11.2. Arbitrary Period. Even and Odd Functions, Half-Range Expansions, page 483
Purpose. The three topics considered in this section are listed in the title. The three main points are as follows.
The transition from period to period 2L amounts to a linear transformation in x.
From (5), (6) in Sec. 11.1 it produces (5), (6) in this section.
For even functions the Fourier series reduces to a cosine series (hence a series without sine terms) with coefficients .
For odd functions the Fourier series reduces to a sine series with coefficients For period the corresponding simpler formulas are separately listed in the Summary.
Typical illustrations of all this are shown in Examples 1–5.
The third and last topic is half-range expansions, typically illustrated in Example 6 and Fig. 272. This will be applied to physical problems of vibrations and heat conduction in the next chapter.
In the problem set we start with some general questions on even and odd functions (Probs. 1–7), followed by Fourier series developments for various periods (Probs. 8–17) and by some general problems (Probs. 18–22).
Finally, half-range expansions are needed in Probs. 23–30, cosine series as well as sine series in each case, that is, functions given on an interval are to be represented on as a cosine series as well as a sine series, of a function of period 2L, obtained by extending the given function from to
as an even or odd function, respectively.

SECTION 11.3. Forced Oscillations, page 492
Purpose. To show that mechanical or electrical systems with periodic but nonsinusoidal input may respond predominantly to one of the infinitely many terms in the Fourier series of the input, giving an unexpected output; see Fig. 277, where the output frequency is essentially five times that of the input.
Further Comments on Text and Problems
Example 1 in the text is sufficient to show the general idea and is typical of the problems.
Problems 2 and 20 are particularly important. In fact, students should decrease the damping term in (4), letting it approach zero. This will give an additional better understanding of the present situation.
SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEM SET 11.3, page 494 2. For (and as before) the amplitudes are
An increase of the damping constant increases for all n, hence it decreases all amplitudes .

So we have , etc. and no cosine terms in the Fourier series on the right side of the ODE. In the solution the damping constant appears with the cosine terms (and in ), causing a phase shift, which is zero if . Also, increasing c increases , hence it decreases the amplitudes; this is physically understandable.

Orthogonality of Legendre polynomials and Bessel functions Short Courses. Omit this section.
Comment on Importance
This theory owes its significance to two factors. On the one hand, boundary value problems involving practically important ODEs (Legendre’s, Bessel’s, etc.) can be cast into Sturm–
Liouville form, so that here we have a general theory with several important particular cases. On the other hand, the theory gives important general results on the spectral theory of those problems.
Comment on Existence of Eigenvalues
This theory is difficult. Quite generally, in problems where we can have infinitely many eigenvalues, the existence problem becomes nontrivial, in contrast with matrix eigenvalue

problems (Chap. 8), where existence is trivial, a consequence of the fact that a polynomial equation ( f not constant) has at least one solution and at most n numerically different ones (where n is the degree of the polynomial).
Move of This Theory from Chap. 5 to Chap. 11
Sturm–Liouville theory is motivated to a large extent by the use of orthogonality in connection with Fourier series and by generalizations from (in the separation of the vibrating string PDE, the wave PDE) to more general linear ODEs (Legendre and Bessel above all).
The Sturm–Liouville material is now close to one of its main applications in PDEs (Chap. 12). More importantly, orthogonality seems more complicated to grasp than other theories and needs digestion time and more maturity than the average student probably has in Part A on ODEs. At least, this is my observation resulting from teaching these matters many times to engineers, physicists, and mathematicians, representing groups of various interests and maturity in applied mathematics.

2. If is a solution of (1), so is because (1) is linear and homogeneous; here, is the eigenvalue corresponding to . Also, multiplying (2) with by c, we see that also satisfies the boundary conditions. This proves the assertion.
4. . Problems 2 to 6 are most useful in applications; they concern situations that appear rather frequently.
6. Perform the differentiations in (1), divide by p, and compare; that is,
Hence . A reason for
performing this transformation may be the discovery of the weight function needed for determining the orthogonality. We see that
This problem shows that a Sturm–Liouville equation is rather general; more precisely, it is equivalent to a general second-order homogeneous linear ODE whose coefficient of the unknown function contains a parameter , the coefficient being of the form

By eliminating A and then requiring (to have , an eigenfunction) or simply by noting that for this homogeneous system to have a nontrivial solution A, B, the determinant of its coefficients must be zero; that is,

SECTION 11.6. Orthogonal Series. Generalized Fourier Series, page 504 Purpose. To show how families (sequences) of orthogonal functions, as they arise in eigenvalue problems and elsewhere, are used in series for representing other functions, and to show how orthogonality becomes crucial in simplifying the determination of the coefficients of such a series by integration.
Main Content, Important Concepts Standard notation
Orthogonal expansion (1), eigenfunction expansion Fourier constants (2)
Fourier–Legendre series (Example 1) Fourier–Bessel series (Example 2)
Orthogonality of Bessel functions (Theorem 1) Mean square convergence
Completeness, also called totality (Theorem 2) Comments on Text
Formula (2) for the Fourier constants (the coefficients of an orthogonal series) generalizes (6) in Sec. 11.2 for the Fourier coefficients of a Fourier series.
Note that for Fourier–Bessel series (9) with coefficients (10) you obtain infinitely many orthogonal families, each consisting of infinitely many Bessel functions.
In many applications of these series (and other orthogonal series), it turns out that one needs only a relatively small number of terms for obtaining a reasonable accuracy.
Completeness of orthogonal families of functions guarantees that the set of given functions to be developed is sufficiently large to be of practical (and theoretical!) interest.
In practical work, numeric methods may be needed for obtaining values of Fourier constants.

The simplest example on Fourier series can also serve here as an introduction (Example 1 and Fig. 280) to motivate the present extension to Fourier integrals as well as the result in Theorem 1, which we must leave without proof (a reference is given in the text); so the situation is somewhat similar to that on Fourier series near the beginning of the chapter.

It is interesting that we shall now be able to prove and understand the Gibbs phenomenon in terms of the sine integral and Dirichlet’s discontinuous factor in Example 2. See, in particular, Fig. 283.
Fourier cosine and Fourier sine integral in (10) and (11) are analogs of Fourier cosine and Fourier sine series.
Example 3 shows a basic application.
The evaluation of integrals by the present method is shown in Probs. 1–6 for the Fourier integral itself and in Probs. 7–12 and 16–20 for Fourier cosine and sine integrals, respectively.
CAS Experiments 13 and 15 should help the student in gaining additional insight beyond the present formalism.
Project 14 is a first step into transform theory similar to that of the Laplace transform in Chap. 6, the latter being of much greater importance to the engineer.
