claim. The multiplier is an l2 contraction and convolution is bounded on l-infinity by the kernel l1 norm.

1Summary

For odd \(N=2m+1\), extend the transform to every complex function by sending the zero mode to zero. Its multiplier has absolute value zero or one, hence Parseval gives \[ \|H\|_{2\to2}=1. \] Fourier inversion writes it as convolution with \[ h_N(j)=\frac{2}{N}\sum_{k=1}^{m}\sin\frac{2\pi kj}{N}. \] Thus \(|Hf(x)|\leq\|h_N\|_1\|f\|_\infty\). Interpolating the whole-space bounds at exponents two and infinity gives \[ \|H\|_{4\to4}\leq\|h_N\|_1^{1/2}. \] Restriction to real zero-mean functions can only decrease the operator norm. At \(N=31\), interval evaluation gives \(\|h_{31}\|_1<2.707\), producing the upper endpoint in the bracket.
