Term by term differentiation in Fourier series

1.1k Views Asked by At

Given a series:

$$f(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty (a_n \sin(nx)+b_n \cos(nx))$$

Provide a sufficient condition on the sequences {$a_n$} and {$b_n$} to be able to differentiate $f(x)$ term by term with

$$f'(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty (na_n \cos(nx)-nb_n \sin(nx))$$

I know we can interchange sums with differentiation if

(i)$\sum_{n=1}^\infty f_n(x_0)$ converges for some $x\in[a,b]$

(ii)$\sum_{n=1}^\infty f_n'$ converges uniformly to a differentiable function.

I can't seem to figure out how I go about it. My intuition is that $na_n$ and $nb_n$ should converge.

I also tried looking at it from Fourier series perspective but it didn't kead me to any conclusions. I would appreciate any help!
