Multiplying the Dirichlet sum by the sine of pi t collapses it to a single sine of an odd multiple, and multiplying the Fejer sum by the square of that sine collapses it to the square of a sine; both are proved by induction on the number of terms.
In the setting of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background, let and be the cosine and sine functions from to , let be the real number of The Number Pi §pi, let , and for a real number let as in The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background §numbers. Natural numbers are read in through the canonical map fixed there, so that and below denote real numbers. Finite sums are those of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background §naturals. Then the following hold for every and every .
1. (The Dirichlet identity)¶
2. (The Fejer identity)¶
The coefficient of the summand at is zero, so that summand vanishes and the sum involves only the cosines with ; writing the sum up to rather than up to avoids an empty sum when .
