$L_d = { phi in L_{[-a,a]}^2$ $vert$ $phi(t) = -phi(-t)$ $forall t in [-a,a] }$












0














Let $L_d = { phi in L_{[-a,a]}^2$ $vert$ $phi(t) = -phi(-t)$ $forall t in [-a,a] }$. For every $f in L^2[-a,a]$, I want to find its projection and its distance from $L_d$.



Now, I think the fact that $f(x) = frac{f(x) + f(-x)}{2} + frac{f(x) - f(-x)}{2}$ might be relevant to the problem.



Of course, If f is indeed an odd function, then its distance from $L_d$ is actually 0 and it doesn't have a projection. But otherwise I do not know how to proceed.



I guess the projection on $L_d$ is the "odd part" of the function, but I am not sure how to prove that formally.



EDIT: My solution is the following:



Projection of f on $L_d$ = -f(-x) because I just put f(x) = -f(-x) in the expression of f that I outlined before. Is that right?

          The orthogonal projection $Pphi$ onto $L_d$ is the unique $psi in L_d$ such that $(phi -psi)perp L_d$. So,
          $$
          Pphi = frac{phi(t)-phi(-t)}{2},
          $$



          because $(phi - Pphi)$ is even, which makes it orthogonal to $L_d$. So your guess is correct: The projection into the odd functions is the odd part.
