The fibrewise spatial densities of a Berg--Christensen--Ressel positive-definite function #
Let F be a bounded continuous positive-definite function on the involutive semigroup ℝ≥0 × V,
with V a finite-dimensional real inner-product space. Its spatial Bochner measures
bochnerMeasure (F (t, ·)) decrease in time, so each of them has a Radon--Nikodym derivative
against the one at time 0
(TauCeti.withDensity_rnDeriv_bochnerMeasure_timeSlice). The existence half of the
Berg--Christensen--Ressel representation is exactly the problem of realizing that family of
densities as a family of fibrewise Laplace transforms
(TauCeti.exists_representsLaplaceFourier_iff_exists_timeKernel), which is a Bernstein problem in
the time variable at almost every spatial frequency.
This file supplies the input of that Bernstein problem. Two obstacles have to be cleared.
- A Radon--Nikodym derivative is defined only up to a null set, so the alternating time
differences of the densities can only be controlled at countably many times at once, whereas
complete monotonicity quantifies over all real times. The countable version is
TauCeti.toReal_rnDeriv_bochnerMeasure_timeSlice_listTimeDifference: the density of the Bochner measure of a list time difference ofFis, almost everywhere, the corresponding mixed forward difference of the densities, and it is nonnegative because it is a density. - The version of the density that is used must be right-continuous in time, since
TauCeti.isDifferenceCompletelyMonotone_of_forall_ratupgrades rational data to real data only for a right-continuous function.TauCeti.timeSliceDensityis that version: the supremum of the Radon--Nikodym derivatives over rational timesr > t. Being a supremum over a shrinking family of rational times it is antitone and right-continuous for every spatial frequency, with no null set attached, and it agrees almost everywhere with the Radon--Nikodym derivative at each fixed time (TauCeti.timeSliceDensity_ae_eq_rnDeriv) because the total masses are continuous in time.
The conclusion is TauCeti.ae_isContinuousCompletelyMonotoneOnIoi_timeSliceDensity: almost every
fibre of TauCeti.timeSliceDensity is a completely monotone function of time, hence a Laplace
transform.

Time differences of the spatial Bochner measures #
A list time difference has a smaller Bochner measure than the slice it differences. Each
further first difference splits the Bochner measure of the previous one into two summands
(TauCeti.bochnerMeasure_timeSlice_eq_add), and a summand of measures is dominated by their
sum.
The densities decrease in time, almost everywhere against the time-0 Bochner measure:
the earlier spatial measure is the later one plus the Bochner measure of the time difference
between them.
Mixed forward differences of the densities are densities. The Radon--Nikodym derivative of
the Bochner measure of a list time difference of F is, almost everywhere, the corresponding
mixed forward difference of the Radon--Nikodym derivatives of the time slices. Since the left-hand
side is a density it is nonnegative, which is the sign condition of the
Hausdorff--Bernstein--Widder theorem at the times involved.
The right-continuous version of the densities #
The right-continuous spatial density of a function on ℝ≥0 × V at time t: the supremum,
over rational times r > t, of the Radon--Nikodym derivative of the spatial Bochner measure at
time r against the one at time 0.
Taking the supremum over rational times to the right of t costs nothing at a fixed time — the
family of Radon--Nikodym derivatives decreases in time and the total masses are continuous, so
TauCeti.timeSliceDensity_ae_eq_rnDeriv identifies this with the Radon--Nikodym derivative itself
— while it buys antitonicity and right-continuity in time at every point of V, with no null
set attached. That is what makes a fibrewise Bernstein argument possible.
Equations
Instances For
Each Radon--Nikodym derivative at a rational time to the right of t is dominated by the
right-continuous density at t.
The right-continuous density decreases in time, at every point.
The right-continuous density is dominated by the Radon--Nikodym derivative at the same time.
The right-continuous density is a Radon--Nikodym derivative at every fixed time. The
supremum over rational times to the right loses no mass, because the total mass
t ↦ (F (t, 0)).re is continuous.
Almost every fibre of the right-continuous density is normalized at time 0.
The right-continuous density is right-continuous in time. No null set is involved: the
supremum defining it runs over the rational times to the right of t, so it is both antitone and
its own right limit.
The real-valued time profile of a fibre, reparametrized by a real time, is right-continuous at every nonnegative time where its value is finite.
Complete monotonicity of the fibres #
Almost every fibre of the right-continuous density is completely monotone in the
finite-difference sense. The mixed forward differences at rational data are densities of the
Bochner measures of the corresponding list time differences of F, hence nonnegative; rational
data suffice because the fibres are right-continuous
(TauCeti.isDifferenceCompletelyMonotone_of_forall_rat).
Almost every fibre of the right-continuous density is a completely monotone function of
time. This is the hypothesis of TauCeti.bernsteinMeasureKernel, so almost every fibre carries a
Bernstein representing measure on ℝ≥0.
