Consider the following problem: given complex numbers a1, ..., an, find an L
function f of minimum norm whose Fourier coefficients ck(f) are equal to ak for k between 0 and n. We show the uniqueness of this function, and we estimate its norm. The operator-valued case is also discussed. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 30E05, 47A20, 47A56, 47A57.
