In a digraph, a kernel is a subset of vertices that is both independent and absorbing. Kernels have important applications in combinatorics and outside. Kernels do not always exist and finding sufficient conditions ensuring their existence…

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…

In this paper we consider a large class of fully nonlinear integro-differential equations. The class of our nonlocal operators we consider is not spatial homogeneous and we put mild assumptions on its kernel near zero. We prove the H\"older…

We show that, for some Cantor sets in R^d, the capacity g_s associated to the s-dimensional Riesz kernel x/|x|^{s+1} is comparable to the capacity C_{2(d-s)/3,3/2} from non linear potential theory. It is an open problem to show that, when s…

Highly localized kernels based on orthogonal polynomials have been studied and utilized over several regular domains. Much of the results deduced via these kernels can be treated uniformly in the framework of localizable spaces of…

The real and imaginari parts of the Cauchy kernel in the plane are scalar Riesz kernels of homogeneity -1. One can associate with each of them a natural notion of capacity related to bounded potentials. The main result of the paper asserts…

In the paper we investigate a method of quantization based on the concept of positive definite kernel on a principal $G$-bundle with compact structural group G. For G=U(1) our approach leads to Kostant-Souriau geometric quantization as well…

The principal theorem of Sz.-Nagy on dilation of a positive definite Hilbert space operator valued function has played a central role in the development of the non-self-adjoint operator theory. In this paper we introduce the positive…

We prove in this paper that the weighted volume of the set of integral transportation matrices between two integral histograms r and c of equal sum is a positive definite kernel of r and c when the set of considered weights forms a positive…

In this note, we show that a quasi-free Hilbert module R defined over the polydisk algebra with kernel function k(z, w) admits a unique minimal dilation (actually an isometric co-extension) to the Hardy module over the polydisk if and only…

Models like support vector machines or Gaussian process regression often require positive semi-definite kernels. These kernels may be based on distance functions. While definiteness is proven for common distances and kernels, a proof for a…

We define a family of kernels for mixed continuous/discrete hierarchical parameter spaces and show that they are positive definite.

Motivated by the study of kernels of bilinear pseudodifferential operators with symbols in a H\"ormander class of critical order, we investigate boundedness properties of strongly singular Calder\'on--Zygmund operators in the bilinear…

We study the minimization of the energy integral $I_K(\mu) = \int_{\Omega} \int_{\Omega} K(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y)$ over all Borel probability measures $\mu$, where $(\Omega,\rho)$ is a compact connected metric space and $K:\Omega^2 \to…

Schoenberg's theorem for the complex Hilbert sphere proved by Christensen and Ressel in 1982 by Choquet theory is extended to the following result: Let L denote a locally compact group and let \overline{\D} denote the closed unit disc in…

A certain kernel (sometimes called the Pick kernel) associated to Schur functions on the disk is always positive semi-definite. A generalization of this fact is well-known for Schur functions on the polydisk. In this article, we show that…

This paper proposes some extensions to the work on kernels dedicated to string or time series global alignment based on the aggregation of scores obtained by local alignments. The extensions we propose allow to construct, from classical…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the distribution of zeros of entire functions which can be represented as the Fourier transforms of certain admissible kernels. The principal results bring to light the intimate connection between…

We study the total positivity of the kernel $1/(x^2 + 2 \cos(\pi\a)xy +y^2).$ The case of infinite order is characterized by an application of Schoenberg's theorem. We then give necessary conditions for the cases of any given finite order…

We study the positive-definite completion problem for kernels on a variety of domains and prove results concerning the existence, uniqueness, and characterization of solutions. In particular, we study a special solution called the canonical…
