For , write
The orthogonality of complex exponentials converts the linear configuration count into
Expand the difference between the products for and by changing one factor at a time. A typical term is
where each is either or . The assumed uniform norm bound controls the first factor by . The substitution preserves an integral over the circle group, so Hölder's inequality and the three supplied bounds give
Each of the four terms is therefore , and hence
This is Fourier stability of a linear configuration count.
