Revision difference : Fejer kernel
Version 2 Version 1
The Fejer kernel $F_n$ of order $n$ is defined as The Fejer kernel $F_n$ of order $n$ is defined as
$$F_n(t)=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}D_k(t),$$ $$F_n(t)=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}D_k(t),$$
where $D_n$ is the Dirichlet kernel of order $n$. The Fejer kernel can be written as where $D_n$ is the Dirichlet kernel of order $n$. The Fejer kernel can be written as
\begin{equation}\label{eq:rep} \begin{equation}\label{eq:rep}
F_n(t)=\frac{1}{n}\left(\frac{\sin\frac{nt}{2}}{\sin\frac{t}{2}}\right)^2. F_n(t)=\frac{1}{n}\left(\frac{\sin\frac{nt}{2}}{\sin\frac{t}{2}}\right)^2.
\end{equation} \end{equation}
\textbf{Proof:} Since \textbf{Proof:} Since
$$D_n(t)=\frac{\sin\left(\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right)t\right)}{\sin\frac{t}{2}}$$ $$D_n(t)=\frac{\sin\left(\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right)t\right)}{\sin\frac{t}{2}}$$
we have we have
$$\sin\frac{t}{2}D_n(t)=\sin\left(\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right)t\right).$$ $$\sin\frac{t}{2}D_n(t)=\sin\left(\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right)t\right).$$
Therefore Therefore
\begin{align*} \begin{align*}
n\sin^2\frac{t}{2}F_n(t)& =\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\sin\left(\left(k+\frac{1}{2}\right)t\right)\sin\frac{t}{2}\\ n\sin^2\frac{t}{2}F_n(t)& =\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\sin\left(\left(k+\frac{1}{2}\right)t\right)\sin\frac{x}{2}\\
&=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(\cos kt-\cos((k+1)t)\\ &=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(\cos kx-\cos((k+1)x))\\
&=\frac{1}{2}(1-\cos nt)\\ &=\frac{1}{2}(1-\cos nx)\\
&=\sin^2\frac{nt}{2}. &=\sin^2\frac{nx}{2}.
\end{align*} \end{align*}
From this follows equation (\ref{eq:rep}). From this follows equation (\ref{eq:rep}).
