Take the positive integer and put . From the preceding estimate and the absent zero Fourier mode, for ,Here is the Riemann zeta function, and its displayed series is finite because . One may replace the last derivative norm by the given full mixed Sobolev norm to obtain the requested constant depending only on and .
An absolutely summable sequence of Fourier coefficients gives a uniformly and absolutely convergent Fourier series, with supremum bounded by the sum of their absolute values. Its sum agrees almost everywhere with by uniqueness of Fourier coefficients for integrable periodic functions. HenceThis is the uniform phase-mixing bound from velocity derivatives: uniform convergence for the continuous representative of the density, with rate . No uniform decay of the full phase-space distribution is asserted. The free-transport phase mixing acts by shifting nonzero spatial modes to large velocity frequency. If a convention allows , that endpoint needs separate assumptions or an argument: the harmonic series in this proof would diverge.
