One way is to expand x 2 in a fourier series which is obviously where the problem is given from, Here is another method a bit based on assumption,
Let us consider c = 2 , then f ( x ) = n = 1 ∑ ∞ n 2 ( − 1 ) n cos ( n x ) ⟹ f ′ ′ ( x ) = n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( − 1 ) n − 1 cos ( n x )
Consider cos ( n x ) as the real part of e i n x and then a simple G.P sum whose real part becomes 2 1 .
Now that , f ′ ′ ( x ) = 2 1 with the boundary conditions f ′ ( 0 ) = 0 , f ( 0 ) = − ζ ( 2 ) ˉ = − 1 2 π 2 we have by double integrating f ( x ) = 4 x 2 − 1 2 π 2 ⟹ x 2 = 3 π 2 + 4 n = 1 ∑ ∞ n 2 ( − 1 ) n cos ( n x ) as desired.
