A summability kernel on the circle is a sequence of continuous periodic functions with
The frequently used stronger condition of uniform convergence to zero off each neighborhood of zero implies the last condition. For in a homogeneous Banach space,
Given , translation continuity bounds the difference inside a sufficiently small neighborhood by ; its integral is at most . Outside, use and the vanishing tail condition. Hence in .
With the indexing needed in part (c), the Fejér kernel is
In particular . The squared-modulus expression proves , and its constant Fourier coefficient proves . The geometric series yields
Thus these are summability kernels. For , part (a) gives . Since and in , the reverse bound follows:
