Chapter 7: Q8P (page 378)

Use Parseval’s theorem and the results of the indicated problems to find the sum of the series in Problems 5 to 9. The series $\sum_{n = o d d}^{} \frac{1}{n^{4}}$ ,using problem 9.10.

Short Answer

Expert verified

By Parseval theorem $\sum_{n = o d d}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{4}} = \frac{π^{4}}{96}$

Step by step solution

Given Information.

The given series is $\sum_{n = o d d} \frac{1}{n^{4}}$ .The sum of the series is to be found out.

Definition of Parseval’s theorem

According to Parseval's Theorem, a signal's energy can be defined as the average energy of its frequency components.

Sum of the series

It is know that the solution of the problem 9.10is $f (x) = \frac{π}{4} - \frac{2}{π} \sum_{n = o d d}^{\infty} \frac{\cos (2 n x)}{n^{2}}$

It is known that the average value of the square of the function is

$< {|f (x)|}^{2} > = \frac{1}{π} \int_{\frac{- π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} x^{2} d x = \frac{1}{3 π} x^{3} {|^{\frac{π}{2}}}_{\frac{- π}{2}} = \frac{π^{2}}{12}$

Use the Parseval theorem

$\frac{π^{2}}{12} = \frac{π^{2}}{16} + \frac{1}{2} \sum_{n = o d d}^{\infty} (\frac{4}{π^{2} n^{4}}) \Rightarrow \frac{2}{π^{2}} \sum_{n = o d d}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{4}} = \frac{π^{2}}{48} \Rightarrow \sum_{n = o d d}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{4}} = \frac{π^{2}}{96}$

Thus $\sum_{n = o d d}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{4}} = \frac{π^{4}}{96}$
