Averaging the given Dirichlet kernels gives the normalized Fejér kernel
The geometric-series identity, or summing the sine terms, proves the second equality. At multiples of use its removable value . Therefore , and
is a positive linear operator on continuous functions. The Fourier partial sums, viewed as orthogonal projections, fix , so and . They also fix and for degrees at least one, whereas annihilates them. Consequently
All three periodic Korovkin theorem tests converge uniformly. Hence Fejér sums converge uniformly for every continuous periodic function:
