then the formulie are
Au = .40.
Bu = BO .
Cu = CO .
Du = D'0.uUU\l +
(m, n) j
where in all the formulae, m and n denote even integers having all values whatever,
zero included, from — oo to +00; only in the formula for Du, the term for which m
and n are simultaneously =0, is to be omitted.
59. But a further definition in regard to the limits is required: first, we assume
that m has the corresponding positive and negative values, and similarly that n has
corresponding positive and negative values*; or say, in the four formulas respectively,
we consider m, n as extending
m from — fjb to /jl + 2, n from - v to v + 2,
» >> /u >> + » >> ^
» >> № » ^ ^ d” 2,
>> ““ № ? ?? ?? ~~~ V Vy
where ¡i and v are each of them ultimately infinite. But, secondly, it is necessary
that /a should be indefinitely larger than v, or say that ultimately - = 0.
60. In fact, transforming the g-series into products as in the Fundamenta Nova,
and neglecting for the moment mere constant factors, we have
Au = (1 + 2q cos iru + g 2 ) (1 + 2g 3 cos iru + g 6 )...,
Bu = cos \iru (1 + 2g 2 cos 1ru + g 4 ) (1 + 2g 4 cos iru + g 8 )...,
Cu = (1 — 2g cos iru + g 2 ) (1 — 2g 3 cos iru + g 6 )...,
Du = sin \itu (1 — 2g 2 cos iru + g 4 ) (1 — 2g 4 cos iru + g 8 )...,
and writing for a moment a=—.. and therefore g^+g = e^ ai + e ’~ nal , — 2 cos ^7ra, &c.,
each of these expressions is readily converted into a singly infinite product of sines
or cosines
Au = II. cos \it (u + no),
Bu = II. cos \ir {u + na),
Cu = II. sin ^7r (u + na),
Du = II. sin \ir (u + na),
* This is more than is necessary; it would be enough if the ultimate values of m were — +> /* ail d +
being in a ratio of equality; and the like as regards «. But it is convenient that the numbers should
be absolutely equal.
