In this paper, we investigate the relationship between positive definite functions on the unit sphere $\sph$ and on the Euclidean space $\RR^d$. For the dimension $d$ to be odd, a new technique is developed to establish the inheritance of…
We introduce the notion of Dunkl positive definite and strictly positive definite functions on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. This done by the use of the properties of Dunkl translation. We establish the analogue of Bochner's theorem in Dunkl setting.…
We define positive and strictly positive definite functions on a domain and study these functions on a list of regular domains. The list includes the unit ball, conic surface, hyperbolic surface, solid hyperboloid, and simplex. Each of…

We establish several sufficient conditions under which a locally integrable function $f:\mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R$ represents a positive-definite distribution. In particular we consider functions of the form $f(\|x\|)$ where $\|\cdot\|$ is…
We consider the space of convex functions defined in the Euclidean $n$-dimensional space, which are lower semi-continuous and tend to infinity at infinity. We study real-valued valuations defined on this space of functions, which are…
We prove that any isotropic positive definite function on the sphere can be written as the spherical self-convolution of an isotropic real-valued function. It is known that isotropic positive definite functions on d-dimensional Euclidean…
The relation between representations and positive definite functions is a key concept in harmonic analysis on topological groups. Recently this relation has been studied on topological groupoids. This is the second in a series of papers in…

This paper presents a comprehensive study of a class of functions which approximate 1/|x| for large x but which are finite at the origin. These functions arise naturally in the study of atoms in strong magnetic fields where the so-called…
We introduce a notion of positive definiteness for functions $f\!:P\to\mathbb{R}$ defined on meet semilattices $(P,\preceq,\wedge)$ and prove several properties for these functions. In addition, we utilize the $LDL^{\rm T}$ decomposition of…
We consider the space of real-valued continuously differentiable functions on a compact subset of a euclidean space. We characterize the completeness of this space and prove that the space of restrictions of continuously differentiable…
Characterizing in a constructive way the set of real functions whose Fourier transforms are positive appears to be yet an open problem. Some sufficient conditions are known but they are far from being exhaustive. We propose two constructive…

In this paper we give some conditions for a class of functions related to Bessel functions to be positive definite or strictly positive definite . We present some properties and relationships involving logarithmically completely monotonic…
Let $PD(\mathbb{R})$ be the family of continuous positive definite functions on $\mathbb{R}$. For an integer $n>1$, a $f\in PD(\mathbb{R})$ is called $n$-divisible if there is $g\in PD(\mathbb{R})$ such that $g^n=f$. Some properties of…
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be an open, connected subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F\colon\Omega-\Omega\to\mathbb{C}$, where $\Omega-\Omega=\{x-y\colon x,y\in\Omega\}$, be a continuous positive definite function. We give necessary and…
We study functions f : (a,b) ---> R on open intervals in R with respect to various kinds of positive and negative definiteness conditions. We say that f is positive definite if the kernel f((x + y)/2) is positive definite. We call f…
Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…
In the setting of the Euclidean space equipped with an arbitrary Radon measure, we prove the equivalence between several notions of function of bounded variation present in the literature. We also study the relation between various…
