Question

let g(x) be a function defined by g(x) = x - [x], where [x] represents the integer part of x. (That is, it is the largest integer which is less than or equal to x). The value of the constant term in the Fourier series expansion of g(x) is ______.

The fractional-part function has period1 and equals x on0≤x<1. Its mean, which is the constant term, is ∫₀¹x dx=1/2. In the convention with a0/2 as the constant term, a0=1.

Important Questions from Fourier Series

  1. The Fourier series representation of a square wave is shown in the figure below. The fluctuations seen near $x = \pm 1$ are named after which one of the following scientists?

  2. The Fourier series expansion of the function $f(x) = |\cos(x)|$ in the interval $(-\pi, \pi)$ is $\alpha + \beta \left[ \frac{1}{3}\cos(2x) - \frac{1}{15}\cos(4x) + \dots \right]$. 

    The values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ respectively are ______.

  3. Periodic function $f(x)$ is given below. $$f(x) = \begin{cases} -1, & \text{when } -\pi < x < 0 \\ 1, & \text{when } 0 < x < \pi \end{cases} ; f(x + 2\pi) = f(x)$$ The CORRECT option representing the Fourier series expansion of $f(x)$ is:

  4. A time-limited waveform $g(x)$ is specified as follows: $$g(x) = \begin{cases} -k, & -\pi < x \le 0 \\ +k, & 0 < x \le \pi \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ A new waveform $f(x)$ is constructed from $g(x)$ as follows: $$f(x) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} g(x + 2\pi m), \quad \text{for all } x \in \mathbb{R}$$ The sum of the coefficients of the third harmonics of the sine and cosine terms in the trigonometric Fourier series expansion of $f(x)$ is $\frac{2}{3\pi}$.
