(i) Let Pr(eiθ) be the real part of 1−reiθ1+reiθ. Establish the following properties of Pr for 0⩽r<1 : (a) 0<Pr(eiθ)=Pr(e−iθ)⩽1−r1+r; (b) Pr(eiθ)⩽Pr(eiδ) for 0<δ⩽∣θ∣⩽π; (c) Pr(eiθ)→0, uniformly on 0<δ⩽∣θ∣⩽π, as r increases to 1 .
(ii) Suppose that f∈L1(T), where T is the unit circle {eiθ:−π⩽θ⩽π}. By definition, ∥f∥1=2π1∫−ππ∣∣∣f(eiθ)∣∣∣dθ. Let
Pr(f)(eiθ)=2π1∫−ππPr(ei(θ−t))f(eit)dt
Show that Pr(f) is a continuous function on T, and that ∥Pr(f)∥1⩽∥f∥1.
[You may assume without proof that 2π1∫−ππPr(eiθ)dθ=1.]
Show that Pr(f)→f, uniformly on T as r increases to 1 , if and only if f is a continuous function on T.
Show that ∥Pr(f)−f∥1→0 as r increases to 1 .
