Let $G={\mathbb{F}}_p^n$, $m\ge 1$ be an integer, and $\epsilon >0$. Use counting convolution,and the counting Lp norm $\Vert F{\Vert }_{{\ell }^{2m}}=({\sum }_x|F(x){|}^{2m}{)}^{1/(2m)}$. There is a vector subspace $V\le G$ of codimension of a vector subspace $O(m{\epsilon }^{-2})$ such that every $t\in V$ satisfiesEquivalently, with normalized convolution on a finite group $f=F/|G|$, normalized Lp norms and subset density $\alpha =|A|/|G|$, the error is $\epsilon \alpha$.

For nonempty $A$, Parseval identity gives ${\sum }_{\chi }|\widehat{1_A}(\chi ){|}^2=\alpha$, so the Fourier coefficients on a finite abelian group of $f$ have total absolute sum $\alpha$. Sampling $O(m{\epsilon }^{-2})$ phase-adjusted characters, using the Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund inequality, approximates $f$ in normalized $L^{2m}$ within $\epsilon \alpha /2$. The common kernel of these characters has at most that codimension of a vector subspace. The approximation is unchanged by every shift in that kernel; the triangle inequality gives the stated error for $f$. If $A$ is empty, take $V=G$.

Since $W$ is proper, $T$ is a nonzero linear functional. Choose $e\in X$ with $Te=1$, by rescaling any vector outside its kernel. For every $x\in X$,If $ae\in W$, applying $T$ gives $a=0$. Consequently this is a direct sum, and the quotient vector space $X/W$ has dimension one. This computes the codimension of a vector subspace:

To prove boundedness without assuming completeness, use the linear functional with closed kernel criterion directly. Since $W$ is a closed set and $e\notin W$, the distanceis positive. If $Tx\ne 0$, then $e-x/(Tx)\in W$, soFor $Tx=0$ the resulting estimate is immediate. ThereforeHere $X^{\ast }$ denotes the continuous dual space.
