Sharp estimates for the covering numbers of the Weierstrass fractal kernel

Functional Analysis 2021-10-12 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we use the infamous continuous and nowhere differentiable Weierstrass function as a prototype to define a Weierstrass fractal kernel. We investigate the properties of the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) associated with this kernel by presenting an explicit characterization of this space. In particular, we show that this space has a dense subset composed of continuous but nowhere differentiable functions. Moreover, we present sharp estimates for the covering numbers of the unit ball of this space as a subset of the continuous functions.
