Special functions are often defined as a Fourier or Laplace transform of a positive measure, and the positivity of the measure manifests as positive definiteness of certain matrices. The purpose of this expository note is to give a sample…
We characterize a holomorphic positive definite function $f$ defined on a horizontal strip of the complex plane as the Fourier-Laplace transform of a unique exponentially finite measure on $\mathbb{R}$. The classical theorems of Bochner on…
We give extensions of results on nonnegative matrix semigroups which deduce finiteness or boundedness of such semigroups from the corresponding local properties, e.g., from finiteness or boundedness of values of certain linear functionals…
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…
For a broad class of Frechet-Lie supergroups we prove that there exists a correspondence between positive definite smooth superfunctions and matrix coefficients of unitary representations. We also give a characterization of linear…
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.…
In this paper, we define finitely additive, probability and modular functions over semiring-like structures. We investigate finitely additive functions with the help of complemented elements of a semiring. We also generalize some classical…
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…
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 consider the problem of characterizing entrywise functions that preserve the cone of positive definite matrices when applied to every off-diagonal element. Our results extend theorems of Schoenberg [Duke Math. J. 9], Rudin [Duke Math. J.…
We develop a functional calculus on Archimedean vector lattices for semicontinuous positively homogeneous real-valued functions defined on $\R^n$ which are bounded on the unit sphere. It is further shown that this semicontinuous Archimedean…
In this paper we study the positive definiteness of meet and join matrices using a novel approach. When the set $S_n$ is meet closed, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for the positive definiteness of the matrix $(S_n)_f$. From…
We consider the group $\mathrm{Aut}(T)$ of isometries of a semi-homogeneous tree $T=T_{q_+,q_-}$ with valencies $q_+ +1$ and $q_- +1$ and its two orbits $V_+$, $V_-$ respectively. We make use of the action of $\mathrm{Aut} (T)$ to equip the…
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…
We discuss the possibility to represent smooth nonnegative matrix-valued functions as finite linear combinations of fixed matrices with positive real-valued coefficients whose square roots are Lipschitz continuous. This issue is reduced to…
We study various convex functions on $R^n$ associated with positive definite matrices. This yiels some exotic Holder matrix inequalities.
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…
Some real functions f induce mean of positive numbers and the matrix monotonicity gives a possibility for means of positive definite matrices. Moreover, such a function f can define linear mapping beta on matrices (which is basic in the…
We consider a symmetric matrix, the entries of which depend linearly on some parameters. The domains of the parameters are compact real intervals. We investigate the problem of checking whether for each (or some) setting of the parameters,…
We study the operator-valued positive definite functions on a group using positive block matrices. We give an alternative proof to Brehmer positivity for doubly commuting contractions. We classify all commuting unitary representations over…
