The paper investigates positive definite kernels of two variables associated with an elliptic differential expression of the second order containing the lower coefficients. For the specified class of operators, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an integral image of the kernel in the form of an expansion in the fundamental system of operator-generated functionals with respect to a matrix-valued analytic measure is established.
The proposed construction generalizes the classical scheme of integral images of the Laplace type to the case of non-self-adjoint differential structures. The obtained results provide a constructive parameterization of the class of admissible kernels through the spectral data of the corresponding operator, which opens up new possibilities for the analysis of correlation functions in the theory of random fields and spectral theory.
