We discuss the problem of positive-semidefinite extension: extending a partially specified covariance kernel from a subdomain Ω of a rectangular domain I x I to a covariance kernel on the entire domain I x I. For a broad class of domains Ω called serrated domains, we can obtain a complete picture. Namely, we demonstrate that a canonical completion always exists and can be explicitly...
