calculus - Fourier series of Log sine and Log cos



I saw the two identities
log(sin(x))=k=1cos(2kx)k+log(2)
and
log(cos(x))=k=1(1)kcos(2kx)k+log(2)

here: twist on classic log of sine and cosine integral. How can one prove these two identities?


Answer



Recall that cos(2kx)=ei2kx+ei2kx2.
Hence,
k=1cos(2kx)k=k=1ei2kx+ei2kx2k=12(log(1ei2x)log(1ei2x))=12log(22cos(2x))=12log(4sin2(x))=log2log(sin(x)).

Hence,
log(sin(x))=k=1cos(2kx)k+log2.
I leave it to you to similarly prove the other one. Both of these equalities should be interpreted (mod2πi).
