Assume . For any nonzero integer ,For , the product-to-sum identity expresses the integrand as one half the sum of cosines with nonzero frequencies and , so the integral is zero. For , use to get . Finally, for the integrand is one. The complete Fourier orthogonality formula isThe constant mode has twice the squared norm of a positive-frequency cosine mode.
