Averaging the given Dirichlet kernels gives the normalized Fejér kernelThe geometric-series identity, or summing the sine terms, proves the second equality. At multiples of use its removable value . Therefore , andis 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. ConsequentlyAll three periodic Korovkin theorem tests converge uniformly. Hence Fejér sums converge uniformly for every continuous periodic function:
