Let $m$ be a positive integer and let the trigonometric polynomial $t_n$ have frequencies only in $[-n,n]$. For every $j\ge n$, its Fourier partial sum is the polynomial itself: $s_j(t_n)=t_n$. Every term in the defining average of the de la Vallée Poussin sum therefore equals $t_n$, givingThis is exact reproduction of the degree-at-most-$n$ trigonometric polynomials, irrespective of the positive averaging length $m$.
