Put , where . Since , part (ii), followed by a -th root, gives the Moser iteration stepAfter steps,The geometric series and its differentiated form giveIn particular the exact convergent product isThe printed hint's equality to a single power of is not correct in general; its claimed finiteness is correct and the displayed expression supplies the correction.
On a finite-measure domain, Lp norms converge to the supremum norm for a bounded continuous function. Indeed, the upper bound is ; for every , the set has positive measure, giving . Let in the iteration and use part (i), which gives . The Dirichlet eigenfunction supremum estimate isThe eigenvalue exponent is exactly . The constant depends only on : the supplied zero-boundary Sobolev inequality has a dimension-only constant, and every product factor above depends only on .
