Half Range Sine and Cosine Series
Half Range Sine and Cosine Series : A half range Fourier
sine or cosine series is a series in which only sine terms or only cosine terms
are present respectively. When a half range series corresponding
to a given function is desired
(i) the function is generally defined in the interval
(0,l)[which is half of the interval (-l,l)]
(ii) then the function is specified as odd or even, so that it is clearly
defined in the other half of the interval, namely ( − l,0).
In such case, we have

Problem: Find the Fourier series of
(i) F(x) = x ; 0 < x < 4 in half range sine series
(ii ) F(x) = x ; 0 < x < 4 in half range cosine series
Here, 2l = 4 ∴l = 2
