MHB Half wave symmetry and integrals

Click For Summary
A periodic wave x(t) with half-wave symmetry satisfies the condition x(t + T0/2) = -x(t). This property leads to the question of whether the integral of the wave, X(t), also exhibits half-wave symmetry, specifically if X(t + T0/2) = -X(t). The discussion confirms that integrating both sides of the symmetry condition supports this conclusion. Overall, the relationship holds true for various examples considered in the discussion.

If I have a periodic wave x(t) with half-wave symmetry, it means that:

x(t + T0/2) = -x(t)

where T0 is the period of the wave. Would this automatically lead to the conclusion that

X(t + T0/2) = -X(t)

where X'(t) = x(t), i.e X(t) is the integral of x(t).

?

I think so. Can you integrate $x(t+T_0/2)=-x(t)$ on both sides w.r.t. $t$, and obtain your result?

Yeah, it's correct for all of the examples I can think of. Thanks!
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
