Special Cases of Fourier Series for Sawtooth Wave
Unit Half Interval
Let $\map S x$ be the sawtooth wave defined on the real numbers $\R$ as:
- $\forall x \in \R: \map S x = \begin {cases}
x & : x \in \openint {-1} 1 \\ \map S {x + 2} & : x < -1 \\ \map S {x - 2} & : x > +1 \end {cases}$
Then its Fourier series can be expressed as:
\(\ds \map S x\) | \(\sim\) | \(\ds \frac 2 \pi \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty \frac {\paren {-1}^{n + 1} } n \sin n \pi x\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 \pi \paren {\sin \pi x - \frac {\sin 2 \pi x} 2 + \frac {\sin 3 \pi x} 3 + \dotsb}\) |
Half Interval $\pi$
Let $\map S x$ be the sawtooth wave defined on the real numbers $\R$ as:
- $\forall x \in \R: \map S x = \begin {cases}
x & : x \in \openint {-\pi} \pi \\ \map S {x + 2 \pi} & : x < -\pi \\ \map S {x - 2 \pi} & : x > +\pi \end {cases}$
Then its Fourier series can be expressed as:
\(\ds \map S x\) | \(\sim\) | \(\ds 2 \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty \frac {\paren {-1}^{n + 1} } n \sin n x\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 2 \paren {\sin x - \frac {\sin 2 x} 2 + \frac {\sin 3 x} 3 + \dotsb}\) |
