We prove Fatou type theorem on almost everywhere convergence of convolution integrals in spaces $L^p\,(1<p<\infty)$ for general kernels, forming an approximate identity. For a wide class of kernels we show that obtained convergence regions…

We describe those reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of holomorphic functions on domains in ${\Bbb C}^d$ for which an analogue of the Nevanlinna-Pick theorem holds, in other words when the existence of a (possibly matrix-valued) function in…

The kernel trick concept, formulated as an inner product in a feature space, facilitates powerful extensions to many well-known algorithms. While the kernel matrix involves inner products in the feature space, the sample covariance matrix…

Let $R=K[[x_1,...,x_s]]$ be the ring of formal power series with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ over a field $K$ of arbitrary characteristic. On the ring $M_{m,n}$ of $m\times n$ matrices $A$ with entries in $R$ we consider several…

Let R be a discrete valuation ring with residue field of characteristic p>0. Let K be its fraction field. We prove that any finite and flat R-group scheme, isomorphic to \mu_{p^2,K} on the generic fiber, is the kernel in a short exact…

We propose a numerical method, based on the shift-and-invert power iteration, that answers whether a symmetric matrix is positive definite ("yes") or not ("no"). Our method uses randomization. But, it returns the correct answer with high…

In a previous paper, we provided some update in the treatment of the finiteness theorem for rational maps of finite degree from a fixed variety to varieties of general type. In the present paper we present another improvement, introducing…

In 1942 I. J. Schoenberg proved that a function is positive definite in the unit sphere if and only if this function is a positive linear combination of the Gegenbauer polynomials. In this paper we extend Schoenberg's theorem for…

We prove the Moore and the Myhill property for strongly irreducible subshifts over right amenable and finitely right generated left homogeneous spaces with finite stabilisers. Both properties together mean that the global transition…

We study positive definite kernels pulled back along a finite family of self-maps under a subinvariance inequality for the associated branching operator. Iteration produces an increasing kernel tower with defect kernels. Under diagonal…

A theorem of Hunter ensures that the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials of even degree are positive definite functions. A probabilistic interpretation of Hunter's theorem suggests a broad generalization: the construction of…

We present, among other things, a necessary and sufficient condition for the strict positive definiteness of an isotropic and positive definite kernel on the cartesian product of a circle and a higher dimensional sphere. The result…

Two matrices are said to be principal minor equivalent if they have equal corresponding principal minors of all orders. We give a characterization of principal minor equivalence and a deterministic polynomial time algorithm to check if two…

We study invariant theory of the general linear supergroup in positive characteristic. In particular, we determine when the symmetric group algebra acts faithfully on tensor superspace and demonstrate that the symmetric group does not…

This paper is concerned with the completion of the proof of the Bergman centralizer theorem by using generic matrices based on our previous quantization proof \cite{KBRZh}. Additionally, we establish that the algebra of generic matrices…

In this paper, we give a new approach to the theory of strictly positive kernels. Our method is based on the structure of Fock spaces. As its applications, various examples of strictly positive kernels are given. Moreover, we give a new…

We show that kernel-based quadrature rules for computing integrals can be seen as a special case of random feature expansions for positive definite kernels, for a particular decomposition that always exists for such kernels. We provide a…
