In this paper we study integral operators with kernels \begin{equation*} K(x,y)= k_1( x- A_1y)...k_m( x-A_my), \end{equation*} $k_i(x)=\frac{\Omega_i(x)}{|x|^{n/q_i}}$ where $\Omega_i: \mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ are homogeneous functions…

We prove some inequalities for the spectral radius of positive operators on Banach function spaces. In particular, we show the following extension of Levinger's theorem. Let $K$ be a positive compact kernel operator on $L^2(X,\mu)$ with the…

We show that total multiplicities of negative and positive spectra of a self-adjoint Hankel operator $H$ with kernel $h(t)$ and of an operator of multiplication by some real function $s(x)$ coincide. In particular, $\pm H\geq 0$ if and only…

For a given positive integer $m$, the concept of hyperdeterminantal total positivity is defined for a kernel $K\colon {\mathbb R}^{2m} \to {\mathbb R}$, thereby generalizing the classical concept of total positivity. Extending the…

We introduce and study a class $\mathcal{M}$ of generalized positive definite kernels of the form $K\colon X\times X\to L(\mathfrak{A},L(H))$, where $\mathfrak{A}$ is a unital $C^{*}$-algebra and $H$ a Hilbert space. These kernels encode…

We show that a positive operator between $L^p$-spaces is given by integration against a kernel function if and only if the image of each positive function has a lower semi-continuous representative with respect to a suitable topology. This…

Given a fixed sigma-finite measure space $\left(X,\mathscr{B},\nu\right)$, we shall study an associated family of positive definite kernels $K$. Their factorizations will be studied with view to their role as covariance kernels of a variety…

We discuss the structure of positive definite kernels in terms of operator models. In particular, we introduce two models, one of Hessenberg type and another one that we call near triangular. These models produce parametrizations of the…

We define an extension of operator-valued positive definite functions from the real or complex setting to topological algebras, and describe their associated reproducing kernel spaces. The case of entire functions is of special interest,…

We give a new proof of a classical result which provides a one-to-one correspondence between positive definite radial kernels on a homogeneous tree and finite Borel measures on the interval $[-1,1]$. Our methods allow us to find a new…

We present new conditions for semigroups of positive operators to converge strongly as time tends to infinity. Our proofs are based on a novel approach combining the well-known splitting theorem by Jacobs, de Leeuw and Glicksberg with a…

We define a family of kernels for mixed continuous/discrete hierarchical parameter spaces and show that they are positive definite.

Let $E \subset \mathbb{C}$ be a Borel set such that $0<\mathcal{H}^1(E)<\infty$. David and L\'eger proved that the Cauchy kernel $1/z$ (and even its coordinate parts $\textrm{Re}\, z/|z|^2$ and $\textrm{Im}\, z/|z|^2$, $z\in…
