Abstract

For a given weakly stationary random field indexed by the integer lattice of an arbitrary finite dimension, a necessary and sufficient condition is given for the existence of a continuous spectral density. The condition involves the covariances of pairs of sums of the random variables, with the two index sets being "separated" from each other (but possibly "interlaced") by a certain distance along a coordinate direction.
