The Triangular Wave

Consider the unit-amplitude triangular wave, given by the cosine series


\begin{displaymath}
S_{\rm c}
=
-\,
\frac{8}{\pi^{2}}
\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}
\frac{1}{k^{2}}\,
\cos(k\theta),
\end{displaymath}

where $k=2j+1$. The corresponding FC series is then


\begin{displaymath}
S_{\rm s}
=
-\,
\frac{8}{\pi^{2}}
\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}
\frac{1}{k^{2}}\,
\sin(k\theta),
\end{displaymath}

where $k=2j+1$. Note that due to the factors of $1/k^{2}$ these series are already absolutely and uniformly convergent. The complex power series $S_{z}$ is given by


\begin{displaymath}
S_{z}
=
-\,
\frac{8}{\pi^{2}}
\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}
\frac{1}{k^{2}}\,
z^{k},
\end{displaymath}

where $k=2j+1$, of which the two DP Fourier series above are the real and imaginary parts on the unit circle.
