were studied. The parameters {κ }m =1 can be considered as tension parameters. Such operators determine a new family of radial functions. The choice κ > 0,  = 1, . . . m,provides strictly positive definite functions the so called generalized Whittle–Mat´ern kernels which have a computable analytic expression. Suitable choices of the parameter κ give known classes of radial kernels. For κ = 0,  = 1, . . . m,we get the (conditionally positive definite) polyharmonic splines, while if all the parameters are equal to κ > 0 we get a scaled Whittle–Mat´ern–Sobolev radial kernel which is positive definite. When n < m values of the κ are zero, the resulting functions are are linear combinations of generalized Whittle–Mat´ern kernels with polyharmonic functions. In this paper we discuss the properties of this new family of functions that offers the opportunity of choosing an element of the family according to the applied problem to deal with. That is, strictly positive definite functions or conditionally positive definite functions of order 2n−1 < m that are fundamental solutions of known differential operators. Connecting (conditionally) positive definite kernels to fundamental functions, provides an interpretation of native spaces as generalized Sobolev spaces associated to L (see [10]). Here, we mainly consider the case when the parameters κ are all positive. In this case we denote by u the fundamental solution of L
