Identify the circle with and use normalized Fourier coefficients and convolution:
For , summing two geometric series gives the Poisson kernel on the circle:
This Fourier series converges absolutely and uniformly for each fixed . Consequently we can integrate it term by term in the convolution; the substitution gives
The resulting series is itself absolutely and uniformly convergent, since and .
The Poisson kernel on the circle is nonnegative and has normalized integral one, as its constant Fourier coefficient is one. Its mass concentrates near zero. Indeed, for and ,
Hence its normalized integral outside tends to zero as . Given , uniform continuity of gives a such that whenever the circular distance of from zero is less than . Splitting the convolution error into this arc and its complement yields
The second term tends to zero, and is arbitrary. Thus the Abel sums converge uniformly to , or . This is uniform Poisson summability of continuous circle functions: positivity, unit mass and concentration supply the required approximate identity argument.
