Use normalized Haar measure . A homogeneous Banach space on the circle is a Banach subspace with , such that translations preserve , satisfy , and obey as .
For continuous , the map is continuous with values in the complete space . Define its Banach-valued Riemann integral, equivalently its Bochner integral, byThe triangle inequality for Riemann sums and passage to their norm limit give the canonical estimateThe continuous inclusion into carries the same Riemann sums to the ordinary convolution, so this definition agrees almost everywhere with . Density of continuous functions in , completeness of , and the estimate extend the operation uniquely to all . The ordinary convolution estimate identifies that extension with the same integral formula.
Summability kernel on the circle 2026-10-31
A sequence of continuous periodic functions satisfying the displayed conditions, with normalized Haar measure and every , is a summability kernel. For in a homogeneous Banach space on the circle, subtract from its convolution with . Translation continuity controls the resulting integral near zero, while boundedness by and the vanishing tails control its complement. Thus . The nonnegative Fejér kernel is an example with norm one.
