Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
1. Introduction: This introductory chapter establishes the significance of Fourier series as the fundamental principle of Fourier analysis. It highlights the utility of expanding functions into sines and cosines, particularly for handling discontinuous or analytically complex functions. The chapter emphasizes the series' role in decomposing periodic functions or signals into simpler oscillating components, crediting significant contributions from Euler, d'Alembert, Bernoulli, and most notably, Fourier, who applied it to solve the heat equation in a metal plate. The broad applicability of Fourier series in solving ordinary and partial differential equations and its numerous real-life applications are previewed, setting the stage for the subsequent detailed exploration of its theoretical framework and practical implementations.
2. Definitions: This chapter rigorously defines core concepts central to understanding Fourier series. It begins with a precise definition of periodic functions, illustrated with examples like sine and cosine functions, clarifying the concept of the least period. The chapter then introduces trigonometric series and formally defines the Fourier series, presenting Euler's formula for coefficients as the method for determining the series' coefficients for a given function. The chapter further elaborates on even and odd functions, outlining their properties and impact on the simplification of Fourier series calculations. Finally, the chapter includes Dirichlet's conditions for the convergence of Fourier series and introduces Perseval's formula, providing crucial mathematical underpinnings for the practical applications discussed in later chapters.
3. Work Examples: This chapter presents practical examples to illustrate the theoretical concepts introduced in the preceding chapters. It showcases the Fourier series in complex form, demonstrating how the series can be expressed using complex exponentials instead of sines and cosines. This section facilitates a deeper understanding of the underlying mathematical structure. The second example demonstrates the derivation of the Riemann zeta function using a Fourier cosine series expansion of the function f(x) = x². This example links the Fourier series to a more advanced mathematical concept, further highlighting the breadth and depth of Fourier analysis.
4. Previous Results: This chapter reviews established results related to Fourier series, starting with the definition of a piecewise smooth function and its significance in the convergence of Fourier series. Bessel's inequality is presented, providing a bound on the sum of the squares of the Fourier coefficients, which is directly related to the energy of a periodic function. The chapter then introduces the Riemann lemma, which states that the Fourier coefficients of an integrable function tend to zero as the index goes to infinity. The importance of Perseval's theorem, which equates the energy of a function to the sum of the squares of its Fourier coefficients, is highlighted, and the chapter concludes with a discussion of the Gibbs phenomenon, explaining the oscillations that arise near discontinuity points in the partial sums of a Fourier series.
5. Main Results And Applications: This chapter focuses on the practical applications of Fourier series analysis. It demonstrates how Fourier expansion is used to analyze square waves and sawtooth waves, which are fundamental waveforms in signal processing and electronics. The chapter also delves into the analysis of full-wave and half-wave rectifiers, using Fourier series to determine the extent to which their output approximates direct current. The chapter culminates by detailing the application of Fourier's method to solve the heat equation, using a concrete example involving heat distribution in a metal plate. This application showcases the power and utility of Fourier series in solving complex physical problems.
