ABSTRACT

Separation of variables is the most commonly used technique for solving boundary value problems. In the case of mixed boundary value problems they lead to dual or higher-numbered Fourier series which yield the Fourier coefficients. In this chapter we examine dual Fourier series in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2, while dual Fourier-Bessel series are treated in Section 3.3 and dual Fourier-Legendre series in Section 3.4. Finally Section 3.5 treats triple Fourier series.
