I might need some help on this Complex Fourier Series Problem

59 Views Asked by At

Here is the problem:

Use the complex Fourier Series on $[-L,L] $ with complex coefficients to find a representation of

$\frac{1}{2L} \int_{-L}^{L} |f(x)|^{2} dx$

Here is my attempt:

The complex Fourier Series is represented as

$f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} C_n e^{\frac{n \pi x}{L}}$

Initializing the absolute value function would imply

$|f(x)|^{2} = |\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} C_n e^{\frac{n \pi x}{L}}|^{2}$ $ \leq |\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} C_n|^{2}*|e^{\frac{n \pi x}{L}}|^{2}$ = $|\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} C_n|^{2}$

This is by Cauchy-Schwarz. Am I on the right track about this?

I appreciate all of your help.

Note that \begin{align*} \frac{1}{2L}\int_{-L}^L \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \frac{n \pi x}{L}} \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \frac{-m \pi x}{L}} \mathrm{d} x = \delta_{n,m} \end{align*}

I.e. the basis functions $\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \frac{n \pi x}{L}}$ are orthogonal.

So note that for $N$ finite, we have

\begin{align*} & \left \| \sum_{n = 0}^N C_n \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \frac{n \pi x}{L}} \right \| \\ & = \sum_{n = 0}^N \vert C_n \vert^2 \end{align*} With the inner product defined above, we have

\begin{align*} & \frac{1}{2L} \int_{-L}^L \left \vert \sum_{n = 0} ^\infty C_n \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \frac{n \pi x}{L}} \right \vert^2 \mathrm{d} x \\ & = \frac{1}{2L} \int_{-L}^L \left \vert \lim_{N \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{n = 0} ^N C_n \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \frac{n \pi x}{L}} \right \vert^2 \mathrm{d} x \\ & =\left \| \lim_{N \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{n = 0} ^N C_n \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \frac{n \pi x}{L}} \right \| \\ & = \lim_{N \rightarrow \infty} \left \| \sum_{n = 0} ^N C_n \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \frac{n \pi x}{L}} \right \| \\ & = \sum_{n = 0}^\infty \vert C_n \vert^2 \end{align*}

You may move the limit in front of the norm because norms are continuous.
