Explore Fourier Series & Jacobi Elliptic Functions: Hints for Sine Expansion

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the sine expansion for the function q(t) = (A+B*cn(t,m))/(C+D*cn(t,m)), where cn represents the Jacobi elliptic cnoidal function and m is the modulus. The user seeks guidance on transitioning from a simpler sinusoidal version, q(t) = (A+B cos(t))/(C+D cos(t)), specifically on how to manage the sinusoidal term in the denominator. The conversation highlights the complexity of the elliptic function compared to the sinusoidal case, indicating a need for foundational understanding before tackling the elliptic expansion.

Hi all. I am currently trying to find the first few terms of a sine expansion of

q(t)= (A+B*cn(t,m))/(C+D*cn(t,m))

where m is the modulus and cn is the jacobic elliptic cnoidal function and A,B,C,D real and C>D implying no poles. I realize that I should start with a simpler problem. Do some of you have any hints for the sinusoidal version:

q(t) = (A+B cos(t))/(C+D cos(t))

How do I handle this sinusoid term in the denominator?

So, I think I prematurely jumped the gun in asking this question. I can do the sinusoidal version. And for the elliptic version, ugh. Yeah. Exactly.
