Fourier Series: Even and Odd Functions & Half Range Expansion

1) The document discusses even and odd functions, and their representation using Fourier series. Even functions are symmetric about the y-axis and can be represented by a cosine series. Odd functions are symmetric about the origin and can be represented by a sine series. 2) It explains that a function defined over half a period (0,p) can be expanded using either even or odd symmetry. If expanded with even symmetry, it will be represented by a cosine series. If expanded with odd symmetry, it will be represented by a sine series. 3) The Fourier series expressions for an even function f(t) and an odd function f(t) are provided, along with the definitions of the coefficients a

Even Functions A function is said
to be even if it is
f(θ) symmetric about
the y-axis
For example cos t ,
θ sec t , t2 , t4 , |t|

Mathematically
f (− t ) = f (t )
Odd Functions A function is said
f(θ) to be odd if it is
symmetric about
the origin
θ For example sin t,
tan t , t , t3 , …..

Mathematically
f (− t ) = − f (t )
Even functions can solely be represented
by cosine waves because, cosine waves
are even functions. A sum of even
functions is another even function.

Odd functions can solely be represented by
sine waves because, sine waves are odd
functions. A sum of odd functions is another
odd function.

• If f (t) is defined over (0, p). Then we may


consider it as a part of either even or odd
function.
