I have a sine series given by
∑∞n=0sin(nθ)2n−1,
and I would like to find the sum assuming that 0<θ<π. Using some similar posts on this site I was able to express the sum as
Im(√eiθ arctanh(√eiθ)−1).
I'm not well-versed with these functions aside from their definitions, so how can I simplify this expression further?
Answer
You did a good job showing that
∞∑n=0eint2n−1=eit2tanh−1(eit2)−1
Do the same
∞∑n=0e−int2n−1=e−it2tanh−1(e−it2)−1
∞∑n=0sin(nt)2n−1=i2(e−it2tanh−1(e−it2)−eit2tanh−1(eit2))
Now, using the hint given by metamorphy,
tanh−1(e−it2)=12log(coth(it4))=12log(−icot(t4))
tanh−1(eit2)=12log(coth(−it4))=12log(icot(t4))
∞∑n=0sin(nt)2n−1=π4cos(t2)+12sin(t2)log(cot(t4))
