Introduction

The notion of a positive operator is closely related to the notion of a positive-definite (in the Bochner sense) function, which plays a key role in harmonic analysis and other branches of modern mathematics (see [7, p. 176]). The positivity property of discrete, integral, and integro-differential operators has many applications in the study of corresponding linear and nonlinear equations in various Banach spaces (see, e.g., the monographs [2, 3, 9, 10, 19, 20] and the references therein). In this paper, we study linear discrete, integral, and integro-differential operators with difference kernels in real spaces p and Lp (the cases of complex and weighted spaces are specially indicated). We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity of such operators and give examples that illustrate the results obtained. We recall some definitions and introduce the necessary notation. Let X be a real Banach space and X ∗ be the dual space. We denote by y, x the value of a linear continuous functional y ∈ X ∗ on an element x ∈ X. If X is a Hilbert space, then y, x coincides with the scalar product (y, x). A linear operator A acting from X to X ∗ is said to be positive in the space X if for all x ∈ X, the inequality Ax, x ≥ 0 is fulfilled. As usual, by R, Z, and N we denote the sets of all real, integer, and natural numbers, respectively, and by p = p/(p − 1) the number conjugate to p.
