Homework Statement


Solve \frac{1}{1} \int^{0}_{-1} -t e^{-j2\pi*nt}dt

Homework Equations


So I use integration by parts
u = -t and dv = e^{-j2\pi*nt} , du= -1 and v = \frac{1}{-j2\pi*n}e^{-j2\pi*nt}

The Attempt at a Solution


after integration by parts I get:
\frac{e^-j2\pi*nt}{j2pi*n} + \frac{1}{(j2pi*n)^{2}} [1 - e^{-j2\pi*nt}]

So basically I am suppose to end up with \frac{1}{j2pi*n} but it doesn't work out like it should.
Any help would be good thanks.

First, you certainly do not get anything involving "t" when you have evaluated at t= 0 and -1! Did you mean
\frac{e^{2\pi i n}}{2\pi i n}+ \frac{1- e^{2\pi i n}}{(2\pi i n)^2}

What is e^{-2\pi i nt}?
(Sorry, but I just can't force my self to use "j" instead of "i"!)
 
woops my bad, those t's arent spose to be in there. But the rest is right.

And yes it is what you typed out.

Im leading to think I shouldn't get the same answer as what I got using the Trig-Complex Relationship equation. Which is why I am getting something different.

The exponential part is what I integrate with to evaluate the complex Fourier series. See the equation. -t is the function.
 
Once again, what is
e^{-2\pi i n}?
 
In trig FS, you evaluate each component a0, an, bn. Well the exponential replaces that I think.

im guessing you use Euler's Rules (i think) to evaluate it which says

sin theta = 1 / 2i [ e ^ i*theta - e ^ -i*theta]
cos theta = 1 /2 [ e ^ i*theta + e ^ -i*theta]

Hopefully that answered that.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
