Synopsis

Positive definite temperature functions u(x, t) in ℝn+1 = {(x, t)| x ∈ ℝn,t > 0} are characterised by

where μ is a positive measure satisfying that for every ℰ > 0,

is finite. A transform is introduced to give an isomorphism between the class ofall positive definite temperature functions and the class of all possible temperature functions in Then correspondence given by generalises the Bochner–Schwartz Theorem for the Schwartz distributions and extends Widder's correspondence characterising some subclass of the positive temperature functions by the Fourier-Stieltjes transform.
