Given that $f(x)$ has period $2\pi$ and is represented by a Fourier-series $$f(x) = \sum^{\infty}_{n = 0}a_n\cos(nx) + b_n\sin(nx)$$
what are then the Fourier coefficients, if using the same period $2\pi$, for the function $f(3x)$?

Best Answer
$$ g(x) = f(3x) = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}a_n\cos(3nx)+b_n\sin(3nx) = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}c_n\cos(nx)+d_n\sin(nx)$$
where $$ c_n = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} a_n & \mbox{if } n \equiv 0[3] \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{array} \right. $$
and $$ d_n = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} b_n & \mbox{if } n \equiv 0[3] \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{array} \right. $$
