Integral Approximation: Tau <<T

AI Thread Summary
When tau is much less than T, the discussion focuses on the validity of two integral relations involving a function v(t) and exponential terms. It is emphasized that proving one relation requires demonstrating the periodicity of the integrand with respect to T/(1+a). A substitution for v(t) leads to a simplified integral form, which is suggested to be sufficient for establishing the equality. The conclusion indicates that if the final integral form is correct, then the equality holds true.

Hello,

If tau<<T which of the following relations are true:

\int_{\tau/(1+a)}^{(T+\tau)/(1+a)}v(t)e^{-j2\pi f_0 at}e^{-j2\pi\frac{k}{T}t[1+a]}\,dt=\int_{0}^{T/(1+a)}v(t)e^{-j2\pi f_0 at}e^{-j2\pi\frac{k}{T}t[1+a]}\,dt

or

\int_{\tau/(1+a)}^{(T+\tau)/(1+a)}v(t)e^{-j2\pi f_0 at}e^{-j2\pi\frac{k}{T}t[1+a]}\,dt\simeq\int_{0}^{T/(1+a)}v(t)e^{-j2\pi f_0 at}e^{-j2\pi\frac{k}{T}t[1+a]}\,dt

Thanks

Your assumtion is not enough to show one of the relations is true. It seems you need to show that the integrand is periodic with T/(1+\alpha).

OK, the integral after substituting for v(t) will look like:

\int_{\tau/(1+a)}^{(T+\tau)/(1+a)}e^{j2\pi\frac{m-k}{T}t[1+a]}\,dt

Is that enough to tell now?

Thanks
 
If that is the final version of the integral then it is enough to say that the equality holds.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
