Abstract

The focus of this chapter is a detailed analysis of two specific positive definite functions, each one defined in a fixed finite interval, centered at x = 0. Rationale: The examples serve to make explicit some of the many connections between our general theme (locally defined p.d. functions and their extensions), on the one hand; and probability theory and stochastic processes on the other.
