I am interested in the scaling of
$$F(x_1,x_4)=\int_{\mathbb R^2} e^{-\vert x_1 -x_2 \vert -\varepsilon \vert x_2 -x_3 \vert- \vert x_3 -x_4 \vert } \ dx_2 dx_3 $$
In particular, I suspect that

Direct analytic proof of positive definiteness of stable characteristic functions
Is there a direct analytic proof that the function

f ( t ) =
\exp\left(-|t|^\alpha \big[ \lambda + i \theta \operatorname{sign} ( t ) \big]\right),
\qquad
\lambda > 0, \quad
|\theta| < \...
