It is shown that a positive (bounded linear) operator on a Hilbert space with trivial kernel is unitarily equivalent to a Hankel operator that satisfies double positivity condition if and only if it is non-invertible and has simple spectrum…

Learning the kernel functions used in kernel methods has been a vastly explored area in machine learning. It is now widely accepted that to obtain 'good' performance, learning a kernel function is the key challenge. In this work we focus on…

We use a classical characterisation to prove that functions which are bounded away from zero cannot be elements of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces whose reproducing kernels decays to zero in a suitable way. The result is used to study…

Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces are uniquely characterized by their kernel, but reproducing kernel Banach spaces (RKBS) are not. However, a characterization of which RKBS admit a given kernel as reproducing kernel is lacking. This work…

We provide the first mathematically complete derivation of the Nystr\"om method for low-rank approximation of indefinite kernels and propose an efficient method for finding an approximate eigendecomposition of such kernel matrices. Building…
