For positive integer indices, distinct members are orthogonal and each has nonzero squared norm . Thus is an orthogonal basis in the Hilbert space of odd L2 functions on . The zero-index member must be omitted. More precisely this is a complete Fourier sine basis, with generally infinite L2 norm convergence, rather than a Hamel basis with finite linear combinations. A claim about arbitrary real functions requires suitable integrability and a specified sense of convergence.
