Fourier-positivity of a certain function
I am wondering how to prove the below Fourier transform is non-negative? I did much simulation and it seems to be non-negative.
$$\int_0^\inf (be^{-at^p}-ae^{-bt^p})\cos(tx)dt, 0<a<b, \frac{1}{2}...

How to prove the Fourier transform of $e^{-x^p}$ is positive [duplicate]
I wonder how to prove that
$$\int_0^\infty\exp(-x^p)\cos(tx)\,dt\geq 0, \quad \frac{1}{2}<p<1.$$
This conclusion is used in the answer to another question here

Looking for sufficient conditions for positive Fourier transforms
I am looking for some sufficient conditions for an even, continuous, nonnegative, non-increasing, non-convex function to be non-negative definite. In other words
$$
\int_0^\infty f(x)\cos(x\omega) \, ...

The sign of the tail of Fourier transform of a positive function/ characteristic function
I am interested in a specific density (positive function) and would like to prove that the tail of its characteristic function (Fourier transform) is positive ($>0$). Here is the density $f(x)=c_\...

Comparison of two Fourier transforms
I am looking for $\delta>0$, such that
