I have an impulse train given by



$$sum_j=0^r fraccos bigl(frac2 pi jxr+1 bigr)r+1$$



Plotted for $r=1$ (blue), $5$ (orange) and $8$ (green), this gives:



enter image description here



Ignore the case of $r=1$, as this is a simple $cos$ curve.



Where, in terms of $x$, do the maxima and minima occur (in the given ranges), and what are their values in terms of $x$ and $r$?



Differentiation gives me



$$-sum_j=0^r fracfrac2 pi jr+1sin bigl(frac2 pi jxr+1 bigr)r+1=0$$



but I'm not sure how to proceed from there.



Edit:



As per Yves' suggestion below, I tried to figure out the sum, but I hit a wall even before I get to differentiating:



$$cos x=frace^ix + e^-ix2$$



Therefore



$$sum_j=0^r fraccos bigl(frac2 pi jxr+1 bigr)r+1=frac12(r+1) biggl(sum_j=0^r e^fraci2 pi j xr+1+ sum_j=0^r e^frac-i2 pi j xr+1 biggr)$$



Next,



$$sum_j=0^r-1 a^j=frac1-a^r+11-a$$



and setting $a=e^fraci2 pi xr+1$ (and therefore $a^r+1=e^i2 pi x$), we have



$$frac12(r+1) biggl(sum_j=0^r e^fraci2 pi j xr+1+ sum_j=0^r e^frac-i2 pi j xr+1 biggr)=frac12(r+1) biggl(frac1-e^i2 pi x1-e^fraci2 pi xr+1+frac1-e^-i2 pi x1-e^frac-i2 pi xr+1biggr)$$



$$=frac12(r+1) biggl(fracbigl(1-e^i2 pi xbigr)bigl(1-e^frac-i2 pi xr+1bigr)+bigl(1-e^fraci2 pi xr+1bigr)bigl(1-e^-i2 pi xbigr)bigl(1-e^fraci2 pi xr+1bigr)bigl(1-e^frac-i2 pi xr+1bigr)biggr)$$



...but where do I go from there?

  • Hi Yves. I know that $sum_k cos ktheta$ can be expressed as a telescoping complex geometric series (though sadly, I haven't yet figured out how...). But even if I knew the closed form expression, I'd still be at a loss.

  • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…. This will eventually lead you to a trigonometric equation with no closed-form solution, except for the small values of $r$ (up to four, presumably). You will have to use a numerical method.
