Artist description One of the most important uses of Fourier series is as a tool in solving differential equations. Because of that we will frequently want to differentiate a Fourier series. Since the Fourier series, like any infinite series, is a limit, questions can arise about whether it is permissible to differentiate in x before summing in n. In your advanced calculus class you should have seen examples where interchanging the order of two limits leads to different answers. This can happen quite easily. Example V.1. Let f[n,x] := 0 if -1/n <= x <= 1/n, and 1 otherwise - i.e. the indicator function (as in chapter III) of the complement of the interval [-1/n, 1/n]. Then f[n,0] = 0 for all n, so if we let x tend to zero before n tends to infinity,whereas if n tends to infinity first. One of the great things about Fourier series is that, despite a very reasonable worry, it is usually completely reliable to interchange limits. Indeed, one nice way to calculate Fourier series is to differentiate or integrate other Fourier series. We'll do some examples and see how reliable the answer is, as well as a couple of situations where we have to be careful. As usual, there is a Mathematica notebook paralleling the text of this chapter with the formulae for the Fourier coefficients given in Chapter II it is a routine matter to calculate the Fourier series for the function x - x3 defined for -1 < x < 1. We find that there are no cosine contributions, and To get a feel for this series, let us plot the sum of the first three terms and compare with x-x3: In a collaborative project with researchers in France and South Africa, LLNL supplied cosmid clones every 200 kb across a chromosomal region identified in population studies as associated with a cardiac conduction disease (progressive familial heart block). These cosmids will enable researchers to search for polymorphic markers across the region. The LLNL map also provides some potential candidate genes to be tested. Garcia pointed out that the map can serve as a bridge from cytogenetic knowledge to molecular analysis. For example, researchers have been analyzing a translocation (chromosomal exchange) between chromosomes 6 and 19 that is associated with a hereditary renal dysplasia. Searching large numbers of cosmid clones across a chromosomal region led to a particular translocation being localized fairly quickly to a specific cosmid. The translocation region in the cosmid was sequenced and found to have high homology to the USF2 (upstream stimulatory factor 2) gene. USF2 is a ubiquitously expressed factor implicated in the expression of several tissue-specific or developmentally regulated genes BONN, Germany (AP) -- After nearly a half-century, Germany is cutting off disability checks to veterans suspected as Nazi war criminals. By unofficial counts, 50,000 German veterans suspected of atrocities during World War II are quietly drawing such benefits, including former members of the notorious Waffen SS. Meanwhile, many Holocaust victims are still struggling for restitution from the German government. Parliament sought to redress the balance Thursday, amending the 1950 Federal Benefits Law to strip veterans of disability rights if they "violated the principles of humanity or the law" during the Third Reich. The vote came in a show of hands, with Chancellor Helmut Kohl's ruling coalition and most opposition lawmakers in favor of the amendment. "Atrocities must weigh heavier than war injuries," said Birgit Schnieber-Jastram, a lawmaker from Kohl's Christian Democratic Union. About 1 million German war veterans or their families are receiving disability payments of as much as $470 a month. The government had no estimate of how many veterans would be affected but said about 20 are known war criminals whose payments will be swiftly cut off. They include former SS officer Heinz Barth, convicted for his role in the 1944 massacre of more than 600 villagers at Oradour, France. Barth, who was serving a life sentence, was released from jail in the eastern state of Brandenburg in July because of ill health. Also affected is Wolfgang Lehnigk-Emden, who was convicted in absentia by an Italian court of ordering the 1943 massacre of 22 Italians. He has been living as a free man near the Rhine River city of Koblenz because a German court ruled that the killing fell under the statute of limitations. To track other cases, ministry officials will compare records of war disability benefits with files of Nazi war crimes suspects kept by German prosecutors, spokesman Josef Hecken said. "We owe this to the victims," he said. Any documentation linking a veteran to war crimes will be enough to allow authorities in Germany's 16 states to deny the benefits, he said. A conviction is not required. Files of Germans who volunteered for the Nazi SS will be scrutinized especially carefully. The 1950 benefits law did not exclude any units, even those assigned the most grisly tasks, to avoid branding all German soldiers as war criminals. Kohl's government proposed the amendment under pressure from Jewish groups and opposition politicians after the disability pensions came to light early this year through reports in the German media. In March, the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center threatened to launch an international campaign against Germany if it didn't stop the payments. Three lawmakers from the leftist opposition Social Democrats dissented in Thursday's vote. They voiced concern that the new law turned benefits legislation into an instrument for catching criminals. But Volker Beck of the liberal Greens party called the amendment "a great moral and political success."
