Understanding the proof of the parseval theorem in fourier series

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on proving the Parseval theorem in Fourier series, specifically addressing the integral components involved in the proof. The user seeks clarification on the red-highlighted section of their proof, which involves splitting integrals and simplifying expressions. Key steps include calculating the first integral easily, while the second integral remains straightforward, and the third integral requires substituting the sum with the expression f(x) - a_0/2. This structured approach is essential for understanding the theorem's application in Fourier analysis.

In the second step, split the integrals so that you get:

\frac{1}{T}\int_{-T}^T{\frac{a_0}{4}dx}+\frac{1}{T}\int_{-T}^T{\left(\sum{...}\right)^2dx}+\frac{1}{T}\int_{-T}^T{a_0\left(\sum{...}\right)dx}

The first integral is easy to calculate. You don't need to do anything in the second integral. Only the last integral might pose a problem. Change the sum in the last integral to

\sum{...}=f(x)-\frac{a_0}{2}

Now the third integral is also nice...
