Radial positive definite functions are of importance both as the characteristic functions of spherically symmetric probability distributions, and as the correlation functions of isotropic random fields. The Euclid's hat function h n (&x&), x # R n , is the self-convolution of an indicator function s

Let f be a positive definite function on a locally compact abelian group G. In [3] we showed that measurability of 1 on an open neighbourhood of the zero implies measurability of f on G. As a main tool we used a result about the support of f [3, Th. I]. The aim of this note is to simplify the proof
Let G be a locally compact commutative group and let g and h be positive definite functions on G, which are not identically zero. We show that continuity of gh implies the existence of a character y of Gd (the discrete version of G) such that yg and y h are continuous. As corollary we get a special
Let \ be a nonnegative homogeneous function on R n . General structure of the set of numerical pairs ($, \*), for which the function (1&\ \* (x)) $ + is positive definite on R n is investigated; a criterion for positive definiteness of this function is given in terms of completely monotonic function
