We complete the classical Schoenberg representation theorem for radial positive definite functions. We apply this result to study spectral properties of self-adjoint realizations of two- and three-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with…
Given a function $f$ on the positive half-line $\R_+$ and a sequence (finite or infinite) of points $X=\{x_k\}_{k=1}^\omega$ in $\R^n$, we define and study matrices $\kS_X(f)=\|f(|x_i-x_j|)\|_{i,j=1}^\omega$ called Schoenberg's matrices. We…
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.…
Positive definite functions are very important in both theory and applications of approximation theory, probability and statistics. In particular, identifying strictly positive definite kernels is of great interest as interpolation problems…
We provide a characterization for the continuous positive definite kernels on $\mathbb R^d$ that are invariant to linear isometries, i.e. invariant under the orthogonal group $O(d)$. Furthermore, we provide necessary and sufficient…
A number of results on radial positive definite functions on ${\mathbb R^n}$ related to Schoenberg's integral representation theorem are obtained. They are applied to the study of spectral properties of self-adjoint realizations of two- and…
We tackle the problem of optimizing over all possible positive definite radial kernels on Riemannian manifolds for classification. Kernel methods on Riemannian manifolds have recently become increasingly popular in computer vision. However,…
The paper introduces a new characterisation of strictly positive definiteness for kernels on the 2-sphere without assuming the kernel to be radially (isotropic) or axially symmetric. The results use the series expansion of the kernel in…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the cone of non-negative, radial, positive-definite functions in the set of continuous functions on $\R^d$. Elements of this cone admit a Choquet integral representation in terms of the extremals. The…
The paper introduces new sufficient conditions of strict positive definiteness for kernels on d-dimensional spheres which are not radially symmetric but possess specific coefficient structures. The results use the series expansion of the…
We consider a closed set S in R^n and a linear operator \Phi on the polynomial algebra R[X_1,...,X_n] that preserves nonnegative polynomials, in the following sense: if f\geq 0 on S, then \Phi(f)\geq 0 on S as well. We show that each such…
In a nutshell, we intend to extend Schoenberg's classical theorem connecting conditionally positive semidefinite functions $F\colon \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{C}$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, and their positive semidefinite exponentials $\exp(tF)$,…
Fractional powers and polynomial maps preserving structured totally positive matrices, one-sided Polya frequency functions, or totally positive kernels are treated from a unifying perspective. Besides the stark rigidity of the polynomial…
The seminal theorem of I.J. Schoenberg characterizes positive definite (p.d.) kernels on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$ invariant under the automorphisms of the sphere. We obtain two generalizations of this theorem for p.d. kernels on fiber…
If $f$ is a symmetric complex-valued function on the $m$-fold Cartesian product of the set of non-negative reals and $A$ is a positive semi-definite $m\times m$ matrix with eigenvalues $\lambda_j$, we set…
Positive definite functions are fundamental to many areas of applied mathematics, probability theory, spatial statistics and machine learning, amogst others. Motivated by a problem coming from the maximum likelihood estimation under fixed…
We first show that a continuous function f is nonnegative on a closed set $K\subseteq R^n$ if and only if (countably many) moment matrices of some signed measure $d\nu =fd\mu$ with support equal to K, are all positive semidefinite (if $K$…
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…
With view to applications, we establish a correspondence between two problems: (i) the problem of finding continuous positive definite extensions of functions $F$ which are defined on open bounded domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}$, on the…
In this paper, we consider the following Choquard type equation \begin{equation} \left\{\begin{aligned} &-\Delta u+\lambda u=\gamma(\Phi_N(|x|)\ast|u|^p)u \ \ \mbox{in $\mathbb{R}^N$}, \\ &\lim\limits_{|x|\to\infty}u(x)=0,\\…
