Consider the complex-linear two-coordinate map $H(x,y)=(x+y,x-y)$. The triangle inequality shows that its operator norm from ${\ell }^1$ to ${\ell }^{\infty }$ is one; equality is attained at $(1,0)$. The complex parallelogram identityshows that its norm from ${\ell }^2$ to ${\ell }^2$ is $\sqrt{2}$. Interpolate these endpoint bounds by the Riesz-Thorin theorem with parameter $\eta =2/p$. ThenDividing the output norm by $2^{1/p}$ proves the scalar estimate:Apply it pointwise to $f,g$ and integrate its $p$th power. With $r=p/p^{\prime }=p-1>1$, this givesBy Minkowski inequality, the expression on the right is at mostTherefore the requested function inequality holds, namely the dual-exponent Clarkson inequality.

Put $C=M_0^{1-\theta }{M}_1^{\theta }$. Since $p<\infty$, choose simple functions $f_n$ of finite-measure support with $f_n\to f$ in $L^p$. These belong to both endpoint domain spaces. The given simple-function estimate applies also to their differences, soBy completeness of Lp spaces, including $L^{\infty }$, there is $u\in L^q$ with $T{f}_n\to u$ in $L^q$. Taking limits of the simple-function bound yields $\Vert u{\Vert }_q\le C\Vert f{\Vert }_p$.

It remains to identify $u$ with the already defined $Tf$, rather than just define an unrelated extension. Write $X=L^{p_0}+L^{p_1}$ and $Y=L^{q_0}+L^{q_1}$ with their sum norms. The endpoint estimates implyIndeed, split $v=v_0+v_1$, bound the two images in their endpoint norms, and take the infimum over all splits. Part (i) gives $\Vert f_n-f{\Vert }_X\le 2\Vert f_n-f{\Vert }_p$, hence $T{f}_n\to Tf$ in $Y$.

The inclusion $L^q\subseteq Y$ is also continuous. For distinct finite endpoints this is the same threshold argument as part (i), after ordering the endpoints. If the larger endpoint is infinity, splitting at $a=\Vert v{\Vert }_q$ bounds both the lower endpoint norm of the large-value part and the supremum norm of the small-value part by $\Vert v{\Vert }_q$. If the endpoints coincide, the inclusion is immediate. Thus $T{f}_n\to u$ also in $Y$. Uniqueness of limits in the sum norm gives $u=Tf$ almost everywhere. Consequently the Riesz-Thorin theorem estimate extends as

The interpolated exponent is strictly between $p_0$ and $p_1$. Apply Hölder's inequality to $|f{|}^p=|f{|}^{p(1-\theta )}|f{|}^{p\theta }$ with conjugate exponents $p_0/[p(1-\theta )]$ and $p_1/(p\theta )$. Their reciprocals sum to one, soThis gives $L^{p_0}\cap L^{p_1}\subseteq L^p$.

For the other inclusion take any $a>0$ and use the threshold decomposition between Lp spacesBecause $p_0-p<0<p_1-p$,Thus $g\in L^{p_0}$, $h\in L^{p_1}$ and $f=g+h$, proving $L^p\subseteq L^{p_0}+L^{p_1}$. Raising the two norm bounds to powers $1-\theta$ and $\theta$ gives a power of $a$ equal toand a power of $\Vert f{\Vert }_p$ equal to one. HenceFor later use, choose $a=\Vert f{\Vert }_p$ when $f\ne 0$. Each endpoint norm is then at most $\Vert f{\Vert }_p$, so $\Vert f{\Vert }_{L^{p_0}+L^{p_1}}\le 2\Vert f{\Vert }_p$ for the sum of Lp spaces norm. If $f=0$, take $g=h=0$.

First use independent fair signs ${\epsilon }_i\in \{-1,1\}$, the Rademacher distribution convention for Bernoulli random variables in this setting. Let $\Omega =\{-1,1{\}}^d$ with uniform probability, write $s(\omega )={\sum }_i{\omega }_i{a}_i$ and $F(\omega )=\Vert s(\omega )\Vert$. We prove the sharp Rademacher second-moment inequality by a complete finite-cube calculation.

For a function on this cube define the coordinate-flip generator on a hypercubewhere ${\omega }^{(i)}$ flips just coordinate $i$. The Walsh characters ${\chi }_A(\omega )={\prod }_{i\in A}{\omega }_i$ form an orthonormal basis: distinct characters have expectation-zero product, and there are $2^d$ of them. Flipping a coordinate in $A$ changes its sign and other flips leave it unchanged, so $L{\chi }_A=-|A|{\chi }_A$. Expand the real function $F$ as ${\sum }_A\hat{F}(A){\chi }_A$. Since $F(-\omega )=F(\omega )$, changing variables $\omega \mapsto -\omega$ shows that $\hat{F}(A)=0$ whenever $|A|$ is odd. ThusThis derives the even-function spectral gap on a hypercube, rather than assuming it.

At each vertex with $s(\omega )\ne 0$, choose a norming functional ${\ell }_{\omega }$ of norm one satisfying ${\ell }_{\omega }(s(\omega ))=F(\omega )$, supplied by the Hahn-Banach theorem. For complex $E$ take real parts in the following inequalities. At a vertex with $s(\omega )=0$, use the zero functional. The supporting inequality for the norm givesBut $Ls=-s$, since every coefficient is a degree-one Walsh character. Summing the preceding inequalities with factor $1/2$ therefore proves $LF(\omega )\ge -F(\omega )$. As $F\ge 0$,Rearranging and taking square roots yieldsNo completeness of $E$ is needed. The constant is sharp: with two identical nonzero scalar coefficients, the absolute sum is zero with probability $1/2$ and twice the coefficient magnitude with probability $1/2$.

If Bernoulli instead means fair $\{0,1\}$ variables $b_i$, write $b_i=(1+{\epsilon }_i)/2$ and $a={\sum }_i{a}_i$. Add an independent fair sign ${\epsilon }_0$ and apply the proved estimate to $Y={\epsilon }_{0}a+{\sum }_i{\epsilon }_i{a}_i$. Conditional on either sign of ${\epsilon }_0$, $\Vert Y\Vert$ has the same distribution as $\Vert a+{\sum }_i{\epsilon }_i{a}_i\Vert$, by symmetry of the sign sum. Hence $\Vert Y{\Vert }_{L^p(E)}=2\Vert {\sum }_i{b}_i{a}_i{\Vert }_{L^p(E)}$ for $p=1,2$, proving the same bound in that convention.

The constant is documented in the primary sharp-constant study.

Fairness is essential. For a general $\{0,1\}$ Bernoulli random variable with success probability $0<t<1/2$, a single nonzero scalar coefficient gives $L^2/L^1=1/\sqrt{t}>\sqrt{2}$. Thus the printed term cannot be read as permitting arbitrary Bernoulli probabilities.

Use $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}/(2\pi \mathbb{Z})$ and normalized measure $dt/(2\pi )$. The Fourier partial sum at zero is the real linear functionalwhere the Dirichlet kernel isThe quotient follows by summing the finite geometric progression, with its removable value $D_N(0)=2N+1$. It is a real continuous periodic function. Ifthen $|L_{N}f|\le {\Lambda }_N\Vert f{\Vert }_{\infty }$. This bound is its exact operator norm even on the real continuous functions. Indeed, for $\delta >0$ setIt is real, continuous and periodic with norm at most one, andby dominated convergence. At zeros of the kernel the integrand is zero, and elsewhere its limit is $|D_N|$.

For $0<t\le \pi$, $\sin (t/2)\le t/2$. Using evenness and putting $v=(N+1/2)t$ givesFor the last inequality, split into the first $N$ complete intervals $[(j-1)\pi ,j\pi ]$: their sine integrals are two and $1/v\ge 1/(j\pi )$. The harmonic sum tends to infinity. This proves the Dirichlet kernel harmonic lower bound.

Choose $N$ with ${\Lambda }_N>K$, then choose $\delta$ sufficiently small that $L_N{f}_{N,\delta }>K$. ThusThis constructs continuous near-maximizers, rather than using the discontinuous sign of the kernel as the desired function.

The real space $C(\mathbb{T})$ is a Banach space in the uniform norm: a uniformly Cauchy sequence has a uniform pointwise limit by completeness of $\mathbb{R}$, and that uniform limit is continuous. Each functional $L_N$ from the preceding part is bounded, but their norms are unbounded.

For integers $m\ge 1$, defineEach $E_m$ is closed, being an intersection of inverse images of closed intervals under continuous functionals. It has empty interior. Otherwise some ball $B(f_0,r)$ would be contained in it. For every $h$ of norm at most one, both $f_0$ and $f_0+(r/2)h$ would belong to that ball, soTaking the supremum over $h$ would give $\Vert L_N\Vert \le 4m/r$ for all $N$, contradicting the preceding part.

Thus the $E_m$ are nowhere dense. The Baire category theorem says their union cannot cover $C(\mathbb{T})$. A function outside that union satisfiesso its Fourier series diverges at zero. In fact these functions form a dense $G_{\delta }$ subset of $C(\mathbb{T})$. This proves the relevant Uniform boundedness principle argument directly and establishes generic unbounded Fourier sums at a fixed point.

Use a nonzero complex unital Banach algebra $B$ with submultiplicative norm, and write its unit as $e$. The complex scalar field is the usual convention in this spectral statement; for a real algebra one uses its complexification. We derive the needed analytic facts from norm-convergent series and scalar complex analysis.

If $\Vert a\Vert <1$, completeness makes the Neumann series ${\sum }_{j=0}^{\infty }{a}^j$ converge. Multiplying its finite partial sums by $e-a$ gives $e-a^{m+1}$, which tends to $e$. Hence its sum is the inverse of $e-a$. If $b$ is invertible, then $b+h=b(e+b^{-1}h)$ is invertible whenever $\Vert b^{-1}h\Vert <1$. This proves that the invertible elements form an open set and that inversion is locally norm-continuous.

Define the Banach algebra spectrum and the resolvent of an element byFor $|\lambda |>\Vert x\Vert$, the Neumann series givesThus $\sigma (x)$ is bounded by $\Vert x\Vert$ and is closed, because invertibility is open. Also $R(\lambda )\to 0$ in norm at infinity; for example its norm is at most $\Vert e\Vert /(|\lambda |-\Vert x\Vert )$, since $\Vert e\Vert \ge 1$ in a nonzero submultiplicative unital algebra. The standard normalization $\Vert e\Vert =1$ is not needed.

For points where the Banach algebra resolvent exists $\lambda ,\mu$, multiply out the inverses to get the resolvent identityFor ${\lambda }_0$ outside the Banach algebra spectrum, put $R_0=R({\lambda }_0)$. Locally,This series and its differentiated series converge uniformly on every smaller disk. It therefore proves $R$ is a Banach-space-valued holomorphic function, establishing complex differentiability in the Banach-space norm and gives $R^{\prime }=-R^2$, without assuming a Banach-algebra-valued analytic theorem. In particular every continuous complex linear functional $\varphi$ makes $\varphi (R(\lambda ))$ a scalar holomorphic function.

The Banach algebra spectrum is nonempty. Otherwise $R$ would be defined and analytic everywhere. Its local norm continuity and decay at infinity make it globally bounded. For every continuous linear functional $\varphi$, the scalar entire function $\varphi (R(\lambda ))$ is bounded and tends to zero at infinity, so it is identically zero: the scalar Cauchy estimate for its derivative on circles of radius $r$ is $M/r$, which tends to zero, and the limiting value then fixes its constant as zero. Such functionals separate points by the Hahn-Banach theorem. Explicitly a bounded real functional can be extended from the real span of any nonzero element using its norm, and complexifying it by $\varphi (v)=\ell (v)-i\ell (iv)$ gives a bounded complex linear functional nonzero on that element. Therefore $R$ itself would be zero, contradicting $(\lambda e-x)R=e$. We have proved the Banach algebra spectrum is a nonempty compact subset of the complex plane.

We next establish the spectral radius formula. The power norms are submultiplicative. If some $x^m=0$, their root norms are eventually zero. Otherwise, for any fixed $m$, write $n=qm+r$ with $0\le r<m$ to obtainTaking roots gives ${\mathrm{limsup}}_n\Vert x^n{\Vert }^{1/n}\le \Vert x^m{\Vert }^{1/m}$. Taking the infimum in $m$, and using that every root norm is at least that infimum, proves existence ofFor $|\lambda |>{\rho }_0$, the root test makes $\sum x^j/{\lambda }^{j+1}$ converge, even when $|\lambda |\le \Vert x\Vert$. The same telescoping multiplication proves it is a two-sided inverse. HenceFor the reverse bound fix $R>r_{\sigma }$. If $R_1>\max (R,\Vert x\Vert )$, integrate the uniformly convergent exterior series term by term on $|\lambda |=R_1$, obtainingThe same integral equals the one on $|\lambda |=R$: applying an arbitrary continuous linear functional reduces contour deformation through the Banach algebra spectrum-free annulus to the scalar Cauchy theorem, and separation of points restores equality in $B$. This proves the resolvent Cauchy coefficient formula rather than assuming vector-valued analytic calculus. Using the norm bound for the allowed vector integral givesTaking $n$th roots yields ${\rho }_0\le R$, and letting $R\downarrow r_{\sigma }$ finishes the proof:

For the first example take the commutative algebra of dual numbers $B=\mathbb{C}[\epsilon ]/({\epsilon }^2)$ with norm $\Vert a+b\epsilon \Vert =|a|+|b|$. Completeness follows from finite dimension, and the product estimate makes the norm submultiplicative. For $x=\epsilon$, $x\ne 0$ but $x^2=0$, so $\rho (x)=0$. Directly, $\lambda e-\epsilon$ has inverse ${\lambda }^{-1}e+{\lambda }^{-2}\epsilon$ for $\lambda \ne 0$, and its Banach algebra spectrum is $\{0\}$. For the second example take $B=\mathbb{C}$ with its absolute-value norm and $x=1$. Its Banach algebra spectrum is $\{1\}$, giving $\rho (x)=\Vert x\Vert =1$.
