Abstract

Let >0\ell>0 be arbitrary. We introduce the extremal quantities G():=supffdx11fdx,C():=supfsupaRaa+fdx11fdx, G(\ell):=\frac{\sup_{f} \int_{-\ell}^{\ell} f\,dx}{\int_{-1}^1 f\,dx},\quad C(\ell):=\frac{\sup_{f} \sup_{a\in {\mathbb R}} \int_{a-\ell}^{a+\ell} f\,dx}{\int_{-1}^1 f\,dx}, where the supremum is taken over all not identically zero non-negative positive definite functions. We are interested in the question: how large can the above extremal quantities be? This problem was originally posed by Yu. Shteinikov and S. Konyagin for the case =2\ell=2. In this note we obtain exact values for the right limits G(k+0)G(k+0) and C(k+0)C(k+0) at natural numbers kk, and sufficiently close bounds for other values of \ell. We point out that the problem provides an extension of the classical problem of Wiener.
