Apply the preceding Fourier argument to , retaining the frequencies needed to make the oscillation of strictly smaller than its mean . The standard optimized cutoff gives a set withsuch that the nonnegative function cannot fall from a maximal value to zero under any shift in . If maximizes , thenThe support of a convolution of indicator functions is the corresponding sumset, so
