Motivated by practical applications, I present a novel and comprehensive framework for operator-valued positive definite kernels. This framework is applied to both operator theory and stochastic processes. The first application focuses on…
Roughly speaking, functional analysis is the study of vector spaces of arbitrary dimension over the field of real or complex numbers, and the continuous linear mappings between such spaces. Naturally, the notion of continuity requires a…
We show that any affine invariant function on the set of positive definite matrices must factor through the determinant function, as long as the restriction of the function to scalar matrices is surjective. A motivation from robust…
The Riemannian metric on the manifold of positive definite matrices is defined by a kernel function $\phi$ in the form $K_D^\phi(H,K)=\sum_{i,j}\phi(\lambda_i,\lambda_j)^{-1} Tr P_iHP_jK$ when $\sum_i\lambda_iP_i$ is the spectral…
We present an explicit characterization for the real, continuous, isotropic and strictly positive definite kernels on a product of compact two-point homogeneous spaces, in the cases in which at least one of the spaces is a sphere of…
In this article, I introduce a group-theoretical method to prove positivity of certain linear combinations (with coefficients generally lying in $\mathbb{C}$) of exponential functions under a set of semidefinite linear constraints. The…
We characterize a holomorphic positive definite function $f$ defined on a horizontal strip of the complex plane as the Fourier-Laplace transform of a unique exponentially finite measure on $\mathbb{R}$. The classical theorems of Bochner on…
In this note functions that transform open segments of a linear space into open segments of another linear space are studied and characterized. Assuming that the range is non-collinear, it is proved that such a map can always be expressed…
Let $\mathbf{x}$ be a (non-empty) sequence of positive real numbers. Its achievement set $\mathcal{\mathbf{x}}$ is the set of all the possible sums of the elements of $\mathbf{x}$. The cardinal function of $\mathbf{x}$ is the function…
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…
Let $S$ be a subset of a amenable group $G$ such that $e\in S$ and $S^{-1}=S$. The main result of the paper states that if the Cayley graph of $G$ with respect to $S$ has a certain combinatorial property, then every positive definite…
We investigate the notion of conditionally positive definite in the context of Hilbert $C^*$-modules and present a characterization of the conditionally positive definiteness in terms of the usual positive definiteness. We give a Kolmogorov…
The aim of this article is to establish basic results in a conditional measure theory. The results are applied to prove that arbitrary kernels and conditional distributions are represented by measures in a conditional set theory. In…
We provide a theoretical foundation for non-parametric estimation of functions of random variables using kernel mean embeddings. We show that for any continuous function $f$, consistent estimators of the mean embedding of a random variable…
The main purpose is to estimate the regression function of a real random variable with functional explanatory variable by using a recursive nonparametric kernel approach. The mean square error and the almost sure convergence of a family of…
Given a finite number of samples of a continuous set-valued function F, mapping an interval to compact subsets of the real line, we develop good approximations of F, which can be computed efficiently.
The purpose of this article is threefold: Firstly, we propose some enhancements to the existing definition of 6-functor formalisms. Secondly, we systematically study the category of kernels, which is a certain 2-category attached to every…
When $R$ is a non-archimedean real closed field we say that a function $f\in R(\bar{X})$ is finitary at a point $\bar{b}\in R^n$ if on some neighborhood of $\bar{b}$ the defined values of $f$ are in the finite part of $R$. In this note we…
Some real functions f induce mean of positive numbers and the matrix monotonicity gives a possibility for means of positive definite matrices. Moreover, such a function f can define linear mapping beta on matrices (which is basic in the…
We present new classes of positive definite kernels on non-standard spaces that are integrally strictly positive definite or characteristic. In particular, we discuss radial kernels on separable Hilbert spaces, and introduce broad classes…
