Orthogonality of the trigonometric system
[11/27%]Verify that the family as defined in the third bullet point of Example 8.51 is an orthonormal family in . The following formulas should help:
Example 8.51 (third bullet point): for , define by
Using Euler's formula
prove that:
( and are integers).
Prove that the system of functions , , is a Hilbert basis in .
Prove that
(If a function has the form , where the functions and take real values and are integrable on the interval , then by definition .)
The trigonometric system of functions
is orthogonal in the space (see problem 35), and the corresponding orthonormal system has the form
The sequence of functions , forms an orthogonal system in the space (see problem 35).
Prove the stated assertion. The functions , are orthogonal in the space (see problem 36).
With we find for
The functions form an orthogonal system on the unit circle.
Show that the trigonometric system
is an orthonormal sequence in .
Suppose is a positive integer. Prove that
is an orthonormal list of vectors in , the vector space of continuous real-valued functions on with inner product
The classical orthonormal basis for with Lebesgue measure is the trigonometric system (19.17)
Prove orthonormality. Hint: Express the sines and cosines in terms of , multiply out the products, and use the fact that is or 0 as or . (For the completeness of the trigonometric system, see Problem 26.26.)
