Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs) are special Hilbert spaces where all the evaluation functionals are linear and bounded. They are in one-to-one correspondence with positive definite maps called kernels. Stable RKHSs enjoy the…
It is often said that control and estimation problems are in duality. Recently, in (Aubin-Frankowski,2021), we found new reproducing kernels in Linear-Quadratic optimal control by focusing on the Hilbert space of controlled trajectories,…
This paper is an attempt to bridge the conceptual gaps between researchers working on the two widely used approaches based on positive definite kernels: Bayesian learning or inference using Gaussian processes on the one side, and…
We review machine learning methods employing positive definite kernels. These methods formulate learning and estimation problems in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) of functions defined on the data domain, expanded in terms of a…
This paper considers different facets of the interplay between reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) and stable analysis/synthesis processes: First, we analyze the structure of the reproducing kernel of a RKHS using frames and…
We review definitions and properties of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces attached to Gaussian variables and processes, with a view to applications in nonparametric Bayesian statistics using Gaussian priors. The rate of contraction of…
This note consists of two largely independent parts. In the first part we give conditions on the kernel $k: \Omega \times \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $H$ continuously embedded via the identity…
It is known that the membership in a given reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) of the samples of a Gaussian process $X$ is controlled by a certain nuclear dominance condition. However, it is less clear how to identify a "small" set of…
Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs) are special Hilbert spaces in one-to-one correspondence with positive definite maps called kernels. They are widely employed in machine learning to reconstruct unknown functions from sparse and…
In this work, we investigate Gaussian Processes indexed by multidimensional distributions. While directly constructing radial positive definite kernels based on the Wasserstein distance has been proven to be possible in the unidimensional…
We extend the classical Mercer theorem to reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces whose elements are functions from a measurable space $X$into $\mathbb C^n$. Given a finite measure $\mu$ on $X$, we represent the reproducing kernel $K$ as…
Let $X$ be a locally compact Polish space and $\sigma$ a nonatomic reference measure on $X$ (typically $X=\mathbb R^d$ and $\sigma$ is the Lebesgue measure). Let $X^2\ni(x,y)\mapsto\mathbb K(x,y)\in\mathbb C^{2\times 2}$ be a $2\times…
We prove that kernel covariance embeddings lead to information-theoretically perfect separation of distinct continuous probability distributions. In statistical terms, we establish that testing for the \emph{equality} of two non-atomic…
Given a positive definite, bounded linear operator $A$ on the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_0:=l^2(E)$, we consider a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_+$ with a reproducing kernel $A(x,y)$. Here $E$ is any countable set and…
Motivated by questions in quantum theory, we study Hilbert space valued Gaussian processes, and operator-valued kernels, i.e., kernels taking values in B(H) (= all bounded linear operators in a fixed Hilbert space H). We begin with a…
We study two extension problems, and their interconnections: (i) extension of positive definite (p.d.) continuous functions defined on subsets in locally compact groups $G$; and (ii) (in case of Lie groups $G$) representations of the…
We study a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of functions defined on the positive integers and associated to the binomial coefficients. We introduce two transforms, which allow us to develop a related harmonic analysis in this Hilbert space.…

Various methods in statistical learning build on kernels considered in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. In applications, the kernel is often selected based on characteristics of the problem and the data. This kernel is then employed to…
A framework for coherent pattern extraction and prediction of observables of measure-preserving, ergodic dynamical systems with both atomic and continuous spectral components is developed. It is based on an approximation of the generator of…
