For every real , the elementary weight estimatefollows from , using the reverse rearrangement for negative . If is smooth its Fourier coefficients decay faster than every power, so is summable. The Fourier convolution formula and Young convolution inequality giveInitially this holds for trigonometric polynomials, and density extends it to every , agreeing with distributional multiplication. Hence smooth multiplication preserves every order.
If , the stronger estimate givesusing the summability estimate from part (b) with . Approximation extends the product, and the continuous embedding identifies it with the pointwise product. Completeness from part (a), this estimate and the constant unit make a commutative Sobolev algebra for . Rescaling the norm by if necessary gives an equivalent strictly submultiplicative Banach-algebra norm.
