The integrands are absolutely integrable because has compact support, , and . Fubini's theorem therefore permits us to insert and interchange the expectation and integrals:
With , the inner integral in is
Now set . The change of variables gives
which is the required identity.
Choose any with , , and for which Fourier inversion theorem applies, for example a Gaussian function. The left side factors through the Fourier transform of as
On the right side, and
The dominated convergence theorem and Fourier inversion at zero give
Consequently the Fourier-cutoff recovery of expectations from a characteristic function is
The right side depends only on . Equal characteristic functions therefore give equal expectations for every compactly supported continuous , and part a yields the uniqueness theorem for characteristic functions.
