The Gelfand transform - the proof of Theorem 11.9<br />
Proof.<br />
c): By e) of Theorem 11.5 σ(a) = {â(t) : t ∈ ∆} so we see that<br />
sup {|â(t)| : t ∈ ∆} = sup {|λ| : λ ∈ σ(a)} .<br />
Thus a∞ ≤ ρ(a). By Theorem <strong>10.</strong>13 ρ(a) = infn an 1<br />
n. But<br />
a n 1<br />
n ≤ (a n ) 1<br />
n = a.<br />
