Definition

Let f ⁣:[0,π]→ℝf \colon [0, \pi] \to \R be Lebesgue integrable. For n≥0n \ge 0 put an=2π∫0πf(x)cos⁡nx dx,bn=2π∫0πf(x)sin⁡nx dx.a_n = \frac{2}{\pi} \int_0^\pi f(x) \cos nx \, dx, \qquad b_n = \frac{2}{\pi} \int_0^\pi f(x) \sin nx \, dx. The Fourier cosine series of ff is the trigonometric series a02+∑n=1∞ancos⁡nx\frac{a_0}{2} + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n \cos nx. The Fourier sine series of ff is the trigonometric series ∑n=1∞bnsin⁡nx\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} b_n \sin nx.

Remarks

The cosine series is the Fourier series of the even 2π2\pi-periodic function equal to ff on [0,π][0, \pi]. The sine series is the Fourier series of the odd 2π2\pi-periodic function equal to ff on (0,π)(0, \pi). Example: for f(x)=xf(x) = x on [0,π][0, \pi], integration by parts gives bn=2(−1)n+1nb_n = \frac{2(-1)^{n+1}}{n}, so the sine series is 2∑n≥1(−1)n+1nsin⁡nx2 \sum_{n \ge 1} \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{n} \sin nx. For the same ff, a0=πa_0 = \pi, an=0a_n = 0 for even n≥2n \ge 2 and an=−4πn2a_n = -\frac{4}{\pi n^2} for odd nn. Non-example: f(x)=1/xf(x) = 1/x on (0,π](0, \pi] is not integrable on [0,π][0, \pi], so its sine and cosine coefficients are not defined.
