Fourier series for a series of functions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the application of Fourier series to a specific equation involving hyperbolic sine and complex numbers. The equation presented is e^{b\theta} = \frac{sinh(b\pi)}{\pi} \sum_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n}}{b-in} e^{in\theta}, with a particular emphasis on evaluating the series at θ = 0. The user seeks clarification on how to manipulate the summation limits from (-\infty, \infty) to (1, \infty) and discusses the properties of even and odd functions in relation to the exponential terms.

Homework Statement
From equations 1) or 2) use the appropriate values of ## \theta ## usually ## (0 ,\frac{\pi }{2},\pi )## , to get to the indicated equation.
Relevant Equations
1)

## f(\theta )=e^{b\theta }(-\pi <\theta <\pi ) \quad | \quad\frac{sinh(b\pi )}{\pi }\sum_{-\infty }^{\infty }\frac{(-1)^{n}}{b-in}e^{in\theta } ##


2)

##f(\theta )=e^{b\theta }(0<\theta <2\pi )\quad | \quad\frac{e^{2\pi b}-1}{2\pi }\sum_{-\infty }^{\infty }\frac{e^{in\theta }}{b-in}##


Indicated equation:

##\sum_{1 }^{\infty }\frac{(-1)^{n}}{n^{2}+b^{2}}=\frac{\pi }{2b}csch(b\pi )-\frac{1}{2b^{2}}##
## ##

Well I start with equation 1): ## e^{b\theta }=\frac{sinh(b\pi )}{\pi }\sum_{-\infty }^{\infty }\frac{(-1)^{n}}{b-in}e^{in\theta } ##

If ## \theta =0 ##
##e^{b(0)}=\frac{sinh(b\pi )}{\pi }\sum_{-\infty }^{\infty }\frac{(-1)^{n}}{b-in}e^{in(0) }##
##1=\frac{sinh(b\pi )}{\pi }\sum_{-\infty }^{\infty }\frac{(-1)^{n}}{b-in} ##
Using the conjugate of the complex:
##1=\frac{sinh(b\pi )}{\pi }\sum_{-\infty }^{\infty }\frac{(-1)^{n}}{b-in}\frac{b+in}{b+in} ##
## 1=\frac{sinh(b\pi )}{\pi }\sum_{-\infty }^{\infty }(-1)^{n}\frac{b+in}{b^{2}+n^{2}}##
## \pi csch(b\pi )=\sum_{-\infty }^{\infty }(-1)^{n}\frac{b+in}{b^{2}+n^{2}}##Up to now I have only arrived, I do not know if it is for equation 1 to arrive at the result or for equation 2, another doubt that I have is that the summations of equations 1) and 2) tend to ##(-\infty ,\infty ) ## and the result of the summation tends to ## (1,\infty )## , as I do so that the sum of ## (-\infty ,\infty )## tend a ## (1,\infty )## ,my idea was to see if the functions were even or odd but since both are exponential they are not odd or even, they can help me with my problem in advance thanks.

The terms for n &gt; 0 and -n are complex conjugates. This reordering of terms is justifiable if you treat the summation as <br /> \lim_{N \to \infty} \sum_{n = -N}^{N} (-1)^n \frac{b + in}{b^2 + n^2}.
