Because is continuous, is continuous on , so is a nonnegative measurable function. Apply Tonelli's theorem before assuming integrability. For each fixed , set , so . Lebesgue substitution on an interval givesTherefore the Gaussian integral yieldsThis proves that is Lebesgue integrable on . Fubini's theorem now permits changing the order for itself. The same substitution without absolute values gives the stronger exact identityTaking absolute values and using the triangle inequality for an integral provesThe constant is sharp: any nonzero nonnegative continuous integrable gives equality. This is a weighted dilation kernel with and . The inner integral in the requested order is guaranteed to be integrable for almost every , which is all the iterated integral requires.
