Uniform power bound from separated amplification roots (${\inf }_{\theta }|g_1(\theta )-g_2(\theta )|>0$)

For a uniformly bounded two-level Fourier companion matrix $C(\theta )$ with distinct roots $g_1,g_2$ of modulus at most one, its powers satisfyA positive frequency-uniform gap therefore gives a uniform bound on every power. The Parseval identity then supplies spatial L2 norm stability. When the gap closes at a repeated unit root, a Jordan block can produce growth proportional to the number of steps despite both roots having modulus one.
