Fourier Series
One period of the window function p9.8 is described as follows

From the above intervals one can see that the period,
and therefore
Applying the Euler formulas from

the Fourier coefficients are computed:





The integral from
to
can be omitted from this point on since it is always zero.




and




The coefficients give the Fourier series:
![{\displaystyle f(x)=a_{0}+\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }[a_{n}cos({\frac {n\pi x}{L}})+b_{n}sin({\frac {n\pi x}{L}})]\!}](../../../1882b82559d4f1569411c84a2b6e3d86f161f7fe.svg)

Homogeneous Solution
Considering the homogeneous case of our ODE:

The characteristic equation is



Therefore our homogeneous solution is of the form

Particular Solution
Considering the case with f(x) as excitation

![{\displaystyle +(cos({\frac {k\pi }{8}})-cos({\frac {9k\pi }{8}}))sin({\frac {k\pi x}{2}})]\!}](../../../5cd6ccf84a4564bffcd87fc35ab5fb5eccc20fad.svg)
The solution will be of the form

Taking the derivatives


Plugging these back into the ODE:

![{\displaystyle +{\frac {\pi }{2}}\sum _{k=2}^{n}B_{k}kcos({\frac {k\pi x}{2}})]+2[A_{0}+\sum _{k=1}^{n}A_{k}cos({\frac {k\pi x}{2}})+\sum _{k=1}^{n}B_{k}sin({\frac {k\pi x}{2}})]\!}](../../../fc340f38bcb387f8388802845e941835a8138559.svg)
![{\displaystyle ={\frac {A}{2}}+\sum _{k=1}^{n}{\frac {A}{k\pi }}[(sin({\frac {9k\pi }{8}})-sin({\frac {k\pi }{8}}))cos({\frac {k\pi x}{2}})+(cos({\frac {k\pi }{8}})-cos({\frac {9k\pi }{8}}))sin({\frac {k\pi x}{2}})]\!}](../../../6c55a889240e8411f80b6f6e1b9954e45d32b4c8.svg)
Setting the two constants equal


This is valid for all values of n. Since the coefficients of the excitation
and
are zero for all even n, then the coefficients
and
will also be zero, so we must only find these coefficients for odd n's.
Now carrying out the sum to
and comparing like terms yields the following sets of equations. Written in matrix form:

Assuming
this matrix can be solved to obtain

For the remaining coefficients to be solved all sums will be used so a more general equation may be written:

Results of these calculations are shown below:

The solution to the particular case can be written for all n (assuming A=1):

General Solution
The general solution is

where

Different coefficients
will be calculated for each n. These coefficients are easily solved for by applying the given initial conditions. Below are the calculations for n=2.

Applying the first initial condition 

Taking the derivative

Applying the second initial condition 

Solving the two equations for two unknowns yields:

So the general solution for n=2 is:
