When is a function on symmetric positive definite matrices an expectation of Gaussian?

Is there some characterization of real-valued functions of the form $\Phi(C)=\mathbb{E}F(X)$, where $X$ has the Gaussian $N(0,C)$ distribution, on the space of symmetric positive semidefinite $n\times ...

Boundedness of total current in electrical network

Consider the following symmetric matrix (adjacency matrix): $$A=(a_{ij})_{1\leq i,j\leq n}$$ such that $a_{ij}=a_{ji}, a_{ii}=0$ and $a_{ij}=0$ for $|i-j|\geq k$ where $k\geq3$. We also have $1\leq a_{...

Lipschitz continuity of multivariable function in expected value

Suppose $h:\mathcal{X \times Y \times W}\rightarrow\mathcal{X}$, with $\mathcal{X,Y,W} \subseteq \mathbb R^d$, $d \in \mathbb N$ is Lipschitz in $x,y$, i.e., $$ \| h(x,y,w) - h(x',y',w) \|_2 \le L_h (...
