Fourier series of $\log(a +b\cos(x))$?
By numerical computation it seems like, if $a_0 < a_1$:
$$
\begin{multline}
\log({a_0}^2 + {a_1}^2 + 2 a_0 a_1 \cos(\omega t)) = \log({a_0}^2 + {a_1}^2) \\
+ \frac{a_0}{a_1}\cos(\omega t)
- \frac{...

Taylor expansion convergence relation to power-spectrum
Is there some connection between the power-spectrum of a real function $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ (that is, its Fourier transform) and the convergence radius of its Taylor expansion around arbitraty $...

Fourier series of an arbitrary function of a cosine function
Is there a general expression for the Fourier series of the function $f(a\cos(\omega t))$ in terms of the derivatives of $f$? Obviously, the function can be expressed as a Maclaurin series $f(0)+af'(0)...
