Abstract
Given a continuous positive definite (p.d.) function F on the open interval \(\left (-1,1\right )\), we are concerned with the set \(Ext\left (F\right )\) of its extensions to p.d. functions defined on all of \(\mathbb{R}\), as well as a certain subset \(Ext_{1}\left (F\right )\) of \(Ext\left (F\right )\). Since every such p.d. extension of F is a Bochner transform of a unique positive and finite Borel measure μ on \(\mathbb{R}\), i.e., \(\widehat{d\mu }\left (x\right )\), \(x \in \mathbb{R}\) and \(\mu \in \mathcal{M}_{+}\left (\mathbb{R}\right )\), we will speak of \(Ext\left (F\right )\) as a subset of \(\mathcal{M}_{+}\left (\mathbb{R}\right )\). The purpose of this chapter is to gain insight into the nature and properties of \(Ext_{1}\left (F\right )\).
