Question related to Quantum Mechanics : Problem 2.19 

Problem 2.19 This problem is designed to guide you through a “proof" of
Plancherel's theorem, by starting with the theory of ordinary Fourier series on a
finite interval, and allowing that interval to expand to infinity.
(a)
Dirichlet's theorem says that "any" function f (x) on the interval
[-a, +a]can be expanded as a Fourier series:
().
NA X
NT X
S (x) = E[a, sin
(*) + b, cos (
%3D
n=0
Show that this can be written equivalently as
f (x) = E Cneinax/a_
n=-00
What is Cn, in terms of an and b„?
(b) Show (by appropriate modification of Fourier's trick) that
1
•+a
| f(x)e¯inxx/adx.
Cn
2a
(c)
Eliminate n and c„ in favor of the new variables k = (nx /a) and
F (k) = /2/Tac,. Show that (a) and (b) now become
+a
1
f (x) =
E F(k)eik* Ak;
1
F (k) =
2л
2T $ (x)e¯iks dx,
n=-00
where Ak is the increment in k from one n to the next.
(d) Take the limit a → ∞ to obtain Planchereľ's theorem. Comment: In view
of their quite different origins, it is surprising (and delightful) that the
two formulas-one for F(k) in terms of f (x), the other for f (x) in
terms of F(k)-have such a similar structure in the limit a -→
