The Jacobi expansion

is well known and easily obtained from the generating function of the Besselcoefficients. The sum of the series on the right of equation (1) when sin (n+½)x is replaced by cos (n+½)x cannot be found in this way but it can be expressed in terms of a definite integral as shown below. The result so obtained is useful in reducing certain triple cosine series to dual series and so simplifying the solution given by one of us for such series in an earlier paper [1].
