We establish a Karhunen-Lo`eve expansion for generic centered, second order stochastic processes, which does not rely on topological assumptions. We further investigate in which norms the expansion converges and derive exact average rates…
It is well-known that the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel for Laplace operators on smooth compact Riemmanian manifolds can be obtained through termwise integration of the asymptotic expansion of the on-diagonal heat…
