    Exercise Continuity Solution

    We have two continuous functions f : R R and g : R R.

    Are f+ g, f g, f g, fg, and f gcontinuous?

    The continuity of all these functions can be shown easily using

    |f(x) g(x) (f(y) g(y))| |f(x) f(y)| + |g(x) g(y)|

    |f(x) g(x) f(y) g(y)| = |(f(x) f(y))g(x) + f(y)(g(x) g(y))| |g(x)||f(x) f(y)| + |f(y)||f(x) f(y)|

    1g(x)

    1

    g(y) = g(y)g(x)

    g(x)g(y)

    Proof the continuity of f gon your own! Its easy, but a few lines to write.

    defines a function

    problems: are properties such as continuity or differentiability inherited from

    therefore the notion of uniform convergence:

    definition: fn fD 0 for n

    with that, the inheritance and change-order problems from above are solved!

    Periodic Functions

    target now: periodic functions, period typically 2

    trigonometric polynomials

    definition:

    T(x) :=n

    k=n

    ckeikx =

    a0

    2+

    nk=1

    (ak cos(kx) + bk sin(kx))

    (coefficients ck, ak, and bk are unique)

    formula for the coefficients:

    ck =1

    2

    20

    T(x)eikxdx

    T is real iff all ak, bk are real iff ck = ck Weierstrass: 2-periodic continuous functions can be arbitrarily well

    approximated by trigonometric polynomials

    Fourier Series

    consider vector space of 2-periodic complex functions f on R

    Fourier coefficients: f(k) :=1

    Fourier polynomial: Snf(x) :=n

    k=n

    f(k)eikx

    Fourier series:

    f(k)eikx

    sine-cosine representation of Snf:

    Snf(x) =a0

    nk=1

    (ak cos(kx) + bk sin(kx))

    coefficients:

    ak = f(k) + f(k) = 1

    f(x) cos(kx)dx

    bk = i(f(k) f(k)) =1

    f(x) sin(kx)dx

    all ak vanish for odd f, all bk vanish for even f

    Integration over Domains

    a huge field, from which we only mention a few results

    theorem of Fubini: shows that, in many cases, a multi-dimensional integration domain can be

    tackled dimension by dimension

    statement (we neglect the requirements, for which more integration theory isneeded):

    XY f(x, y)d(x, y) =

    Y

    X f(x, y)dxdy =

    X

    Y f(x, y)dydx

    related to Cavalieris principle

    will also be of relevance for numerical quadrature

    transformation theorem:

    a generalisation of integration by substitution

    statement, again without requirements:U

    f(T(x)) detT(x) dx =

    V

    f(y)dy

    allows for a change of the coordinate system (polar coordinates), e.g.

    Gauss Theorem

    http://www5.in.tum.de/http://www5.in.tum.de/
  • 7/28/2019 03 Handout Calculus

    47/47

    Gauss Theorem

    we further generalise integration, now allowing for integration over hyper-surfaces(a sphere, e.g.)

    this is important for the physical modelling in many scenarios (heat flux through apots surface, ...)

    the famous Gauss theorem allows to combine integrals over volumes andsurfaces, which occurs in the derivation of many physical models (conservationlaws) and, hence, is of special relevance for CSE

    prerequisites:

    a vector field: a vector-valued function on Rn (example: the velocity field influid mechanics)

    the divergence of a vector field F:

    divF(x) =n

    i=1

    iFi(x)

    finally the Gauss theorem:

    several regularity assumptions neededG

    divFdx =

    G

    F dS
