We study how iterated and composed completely positive maps act on operator-valued kernels. Each kernel is realized inside a single Hilbert space where composition corresponds to applying bounded creation operators to feature vectors. This…

Let L be a positive line bundle on a projective complex manifold. We study the asymptotic behavior of Bergman kernels associated with the tensor powers L^p of L as p tends to infinity. The emphasis is the dependence of the uniform estimates…

We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the strict positive definiteness of a real, continuous, isotropic and positive definite kernel on a two-point compact homogeneous space. The characterization adds to others previously…

We analyze, from the viewpoint of positivity preservation, certain discretizations of a fundamental partial differential equation, the one-dimensional advection equation with periodic boundary condition. The full discretization is obtained…

This note finds a new characterization of complete Nevanlinna-Pick kernels on the Euclidean unit ball. The classical theory of Sz.-Nagy and Foias about the characteristic function is extended in this note to a commuting tuple $\bfT$ of…

Convex sets of completely positive maps and positive semidefinite kernels are considered in the most general context of modules over $C^*$-algebras and a complete charaterization of their extreme points is obtained. As a byproduct, we…

Complete monotonicity is a strong positivity property for real-valued functions on convex cones. It is certified by the kernel of the inverse Laplace transform. We study this for negative powers of hyperbolic polynomials. Here the…

For the real, continuous, isotropic and positive definite kernels on a product of spheres, one may consider not only its usual strict positive definiteness but also strict positive definiteness restrict to the points of the product that…

We connect shift-invariant characteristic kernels to infinitely divisible distributions on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. Characteristic kernels play an important role in machine learning applications with their kernel means to distinguish any two…

This work investigates preserving and reversing unimodality and convexity properties for sequences under transformations defined by sign-regular kernels. It is shown that these transformations only preserve these properties if the kernels…

We prove new monotonicity properties for joint and generalized spectral radius and their essential versions of weighted geometric symmetrizations of bounded sets of positive kernel operators on $L^2$. To our knowledge, several proved…

We study classes of reproducing kernels $K$ on general domains; these are kernels which arise commonly in machine learning models; models based on certain families of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. They are the positive definite kernels…

In this paper we investigate the class of invariant positive definite kernels on the free semigroup on N generators. We provide a combinatorial description of the positivity of the kernel in terms of Dyck paths and then we find a…

We show that, for positive definite kernels, if specific forms of regularity (continuity, Sn-differentiability or holomorphy) hold locally on the diagonal, then they must hold globally on the whole domain of positive-definiteness. This…

The Sz.-Nagy Foias characteristic function for a contraction has had a rejuvenation in recent times due to a number of authors. Such a classical object relates to an object of very contemporary interest, viz., the complete Nevanlinna-Pick…
