The representation of functions (or objects which are in some generalize the notion of function) as constant linear combinations of sines and cosines at integer multiples of a given frequency, as Fourier transforms or as Fourier integrals.

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}<p<1$ …

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 po …
