SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the periodicity of the function e^(j3π(n+1/2)/5) in the discrete domain. It is established that a function is periodic if it satisfies the condition x[n] = x[n+N], where N is a positive integer representing the fundamental period. The conclusion drawn from the analysis is that the given function is not periodic, as confirmed through attempts to apply the Euler equivalent without success.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of discrete functions and periodicity
  • Familiarity with Euler's formula
  • Knowledge of complex exponentials

Hello, I have got a question about the periodicity of a function.
I know that in discrete domain, a periodic function have to verify
x[n] = x[n+N]
where N is the positive integer and foundamental period.
My problem is that if I have a function like this: e^(j3π(n+1/2)/5),
how can I confirm if that the function can be periodical?
I attemted to use the Euler equivalent, but still no solution came to my mind.
Thank you!

I attached a photo.It's not so clear but I hope you can understand the content in it.According to that discussion,I found that given func. is not periodic.
