Positive-definiteness, integral equations and Fourier transforms (Q2567964)

The authors investigate the integral operator \[ A: L^2(\mathbb{R})\to L^2(\mathbb{R}),\quad (Au)(x)= \int^\infty_{-\infty} k(x,y) u(y)\,dy, \] \(x\in\mathbb{R}\), where \(k\) is positive definite kernel function (a special symmetric kernel). Let \(\widehat k(t,s)\) be the Fourier transform of the kernel \(k\) and \(\widetilde k(t,s):=\widehat k(t,-s)\). The integral operator with the kernel \(\widetilde k\) is considered, too.
