1.4. Characterization of the sin and cos Terms.
Let's make the coefficients of
and
into functions of (
g
,
f
).
Notice that the collection of
ln
terms in the
sin
term make for a very difficult time of keeping the
sin
term purely real. In fact, setting
we have
where it becomes quite clear we're in trouble. There is no real value of
f
for which this expression does not have an imaginary component. On the other hand, the
cos
term is comparatively well-behaved:
Let's take a look at the cos term for various values of g .
cosplot := proc( gvals::list, frange::range )
local p, k;
p := [];
for k from 1 to nops(gvals) do
p := [ op(p), plot( G[c](gvals[k],f), f=frange,
color=mycolors[(k-1 mod 10)+1],
thickness=2 ) ];
od;
plots[display]( p, axes=normal );
end:
An animation of this is also instructive.
Hmm, disturbing that it is asymmetric.
