We introduce and systematically develop two classes of discrete integrable operators: those with $2\times 2$ matrix kernels and those possessing general differential kernels, thereby generalizing the discrete analogue previously studied. A…
We provide a characterization for the continuous positive definite kernels on $\mathbb R^d$ that are invariant to linear isometries, i.e. invariant under the orthogonal group $O(d)$. Furthermore, we provide necessary and sufficient…
We study the problem of extending a positive-definite operator-valued kernel, defined on words of a fixed finite length from a free semigroup, to a global kernel defined on all words. We show that if the initial kernel satisfies a natural…
This paper studies random operator-valued positive definite (p.d.) kernels and their connection to moment dilations. A class of random p.d. kernels is introduced in which the positivity requirement is imposed only in expectation, extending…
The paper introduces new sufficient conditions of strict positive definiteness for kernels on d-dimensional spheres which are not radially symmetric but possess specific coefficient structures. The results use the series expansion of the…
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…
Universal kernels, whose Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space is dense in the space of continuous functions are of great practical and theoretical interest. In this paper, we introduce an explicit construction of universal kernels on compact…
We give two new global and algorithmic constructions of the reproducing kernel Hilbert space associated to a positive definite kernel. We further present ageneral positive definite kernel setting using bilinear forms, and we provide new…
The composition operators preserving total non-negativity and total positivity for various classes of kernels are classified, following three themes. Letting a function act by post composition on kernels with arbitrary domains, it is shown…
The paper introduces a new characterisation of strictly positive definiteness for kernels on the 2-sphere without assuming the kernel to be radially (isotropic) or axially symmetric. The results use the series expansion of the kernel in…
The aim of this paper is to present a unified framework in the setting of Hilbert $C^*$-modules for the scalar- and vector-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and $C^*$-valued reproducing kernel spaces. We investigate conditionally…
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 consider kernels of discrete convolution operators or, equivalently, homogeneous solutions of partial difference operators and show that these solutions always have to be exponential polynomials. The respective polynomial space in…
In this paper we study continuous kernels on compact two point homogeneous spaces which are positive definite and zonal (isotropic). Such kernels were characterized by R. Gangolli some forty years ago and are very useful for solving…
A well-known theorem factors a scalar coefficient differential operator given a linearly independent set of functions in its kernel. The goal of this paper is to generalize this useful result to other types of operators. In place of the…
We generalize the characterization theorem going back to Mercer and Young, which states that a symmetric and continuous kernel is positive definite if and only if it is integrally positive definite, to matrix-valued kernels on separable…
We demonstrate new abstract characterizations for unital and non-unital operator spaces. We characterize unital operator spaces in terms of the cone of accretive operators (operators whose real part is positive). Defining the gauge of an…
The aim of the paper is to give a full characterization of functions f from I into the real line R (where I is an interval in R that satisfies certain natural conditions) such that for any I-valued positive definite kernel K defined on an…
A complete characterization of the similarity between two operator-valued multishifts with invertible operator weights is obtained purely in terms of operator weights. This generalizes several existing results of the unitary equivalence of…
$C^*$-algebra-valued kernels could pave the way for the next generation of kernel machines. To further our fundamental understanding of learning with $C^*$-algebraic kernels, we propose a new class of positive definite kernels based on the…
