calculus - Evaluate suminftyr=1fracsin(rpix)rcdotyr




Find a closed form expression for



r=1sin(rπx)ryr




I know that r=1sin(rπx)r=π2{x2} but I don't know how to obtain a closed form for the required summation. I thought about using Euler's Formula but it became messy.




Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.


Answer



r=1sin(rπx)ryr=Imr=1exp(irπx)ryr=Im0dsr=1(eiπxsy)r=Im0dseiπxesyeiπx=


=Imlog(1eiπxy)=arctan(1cos(πx)y,sin(πx)y) ,

where log is the principal branch of the complex logarithm, and we used 1/z=0ds esz, for z>0. The function arctan with two arguments is described here https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/ArcTan.html. I checked with Mathematica a few cases and it seems it works.
