Consider an irreducible Markov chain which satisfies a ratio limit theorem, and let $\rho$ be the spectral radius of the chain. We investigate the relation of the the $\rho\,$-Martin boundary with the boundary induced by the…
If a Banach-space operator has a complemented range, then its normed-space adjoint has a complemented kernel and the converse holds on a reflexive Banach space. It is also shown when complemented kernel for an operator is equivalent to…
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…
We prove a law of large numbers for empirical approximations of the spectrum of a kernel integral operator by the spectrum of random matrices based on a sample drawn from a Markov chain, which complements the results by V. Koltchinskii and…
The paper introduces new sufficient conditions of strict positive definiteness for kernels on d-dimensional spheres which are not radially symmetric but possess specific coefficient structures. The results use the series expansion of the…
In this paper, we present an explicit description for the boundary behavior of the Bergman kernel function, the Bergman metric, and the associated curvatures along certain sequences converging to an $h$-extendible boundary point.
The search for the optimal shape parameter for Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel approximation has been an outstanding research problem for decades. In this work, we establish a theoretical framework for this problem by leveraging a…
In this paper we investigate the approximation properties of kernel interpolants on manifolds. The kernels we consider will be obtained by the restriction of positive definite kernels on $\R^d$, such as radial basis functions (RBFs), to a…
We construct quasiconformal mappings in Euclidean spaces by integration of a discontinuous kernel against doubling measures with suitable decay. The differentials of mappings that arise in this way satisfy an isotropic form of the doubling…

The Gamma kernel is a projection kernel of the form (A(x)B(y)-B(x)A(y))/(x-y), where A and B are certain functions on the one-dimensional lattice expressed through Euler's Gamma function. The Gamma kernel depends on two continuous…
We study the spectrum of complete noncompact manifolds with bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius. We give general conditions which imply that their essential spectrum has an arbitrarily large finite number of gaps. In…
For Markov processes with absorption, we provide general criteria ensuring the existence and the exponential non-uniform convergence in total variation norm to a quasi-stationary distribution. We also characterize a subset of its domain of…
We consider periodic Markov chains with absorption. Applying to iterates of this periodic Markov chain criteria for the exponential convergence of conditional distributions of aperiodic absorbed Markov chains, we obtain exponential…
This work is motivated by the frequent occurrence of boundary value problems with various boundary conditions in the modeling of some problems in engineering and physical science. Here we propose a new technique to force the positive…
