Einige Bemerkungen über die Fortsetzung positiv definiter Funktionen (Q1064493)

The author considers some extension problems of continuous, positive definite functions on an interval (-a,a) by the convolution method. Let f be a continuous, positive definite function with support in (-a,a) and \(\mu\) be a finite Borel measure supported in \(\{\) \(0\}\) \(\cup (-\infty,- a)\cup (a,\infty)\). Then the convolution \(f^*\mu\) is discussed and as an application a result of P. Lévy on the periodic extension of f is given.
