Hi gAr;

Working on it the right way now, will post the answer if I get it.

Re: Series

Hi gAr;

I do not need the hint yet, have a couple of ideas left. Taking a break to rest. See you them.

Re: Series

Okay.

I was confused by W|A's output!

Isn't that always 0?

Re: Series

Hi gAr;

I do not think so. I solved for it as a definite integral:

integrate(log(2*cos(x/2))cos(n*x),{x,-Pi,Pi})/Pi

I just plugged in n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

That works at home but Alpha is dogging it.

Re: Series

Hi,

Okay.
Could you deduce the sum?

Re: Series

Hi;

To get a feel for the coeficients:

nintegrate(log(2*cos(x/2))*cos(n*x),{x,-Pi,Pi})/Pi

Substitute for n =0,1,2,3,4,5 one at a time.

Could you deduce the sum?

If I have to use 1), so far I do not have any idea how to do it.

Re: Series

I have confirmed the coefficients.
In sage, numerical integral is okay, but integral shows 0. Even the sum, for some n, it goes completely wrong!


Do you need a hint or will you try some more time?

A hint? I need a doctor! I will try to do it as soon as I finish eating and take a little break.

Thanks for posing the problem.
