Use the modulus of continuity on the circle, . Splitting a displacement into steps of length at most and applying the triangle inequality givesThe Fejér kernel is nonnegative and has integral one, soWe therefore need its first absolute moment. The inequalities and on implySplitting at givesTaking in the preceding error bound proves the Fejér first-moment approximation bound:The constants do not depend on or . By the Heine-Cantor theorem, a continuous function on the compact circle is uniformly continuous, hence as . Thus the Fejér sums converge uniformly to . The index restriction is necessary: at the printed scale is zero, while is the mean of and generally differs from it.
