An even, continuous function \(f: \mathbb{R}\to [0,\infty)\) with \(f(0)= 1\) is said to be of Pólya type if \(f\) is convex on \((0,\infty)\) and \(\lim_{t\to\infty} f(t)= 0\). \textit{E. C. Titchmarsh} [``Introduction to the theory of Fourier integrals'' (1937; Zbl 0017.40404), Theorem 124] proved that every Pólya type function is the Fourier transform of a Lebesgue integrable function, or using the terminology of probability theory: the characteristic function of an absolutely continuous probability distribution. The present author presents a new proof of this result which does not rely on the inversion theorem.
