L² integral estimate #
This module formalizes the L² integral estimate from the blueprint's Basic Fourier estimates
chapter (l2-chapter).
It proves both the blueprint's equality with a bounded error coefficient
and the corresponding absolute-error bound.

L² integral estimate lemma #
If ξ is a finite 1 / N-separated
family of real numbers, then over any interval of length T,
∫ |∑ r, a r * 𝐞 (ξ r * t)|² dt = (T + O(N)) * ∑ r, ‖a r‖².
The conclusion expresses O(N) as θ * N, with θ bounded by a universal
constant.
Absolute-error form of the L² integral estimate: for a 1 / N-separated family,
the integral differs from T * ∑ r, ‖a r‖² by at most a universal constant times
N * ∑ r, ‖a r‖².
A long enough interval contains a point where a separated exponential sum has at least half of its mean-square mass.
