Elementary Properties of Cesàro Operator in L^2
We study the average of sum, in the sense of integral.

For each \(t \geq 0\), we assign an bounded linear operator \(Q(t)\) such that \[ (Q(t)f)(s)=f(s+t). \] This is indeed bounded since we have \(\lVert Q(t)f \rVert_2 = \lVert f \rVert_2\) as the Lebesgue measure is translate-invariant. This is a left translation operator with a single step \(t\).
