Abstract:
This paper is concerned with the construction of positive definite functions on a cartesian product of quasi-metric spaces using generalized Stieltjes and complete Bernstein functions. The results we prove are aligned with a well-established method of T. Gneiting to construct space-time positive definite functions and its many extensions. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the strict positive definiteness of the models are provided when the spaces are metric.
Keywords:
positive definite functions, generalized Stieltjes functions, Bernstein functions, Gneiting's model, products of metric spaces.
