Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces

Overview


Definition


Given a set {% X %} and the set of functions {% F(X, \mathbb{F}) %} from {% X %} to {% \mathbb{F} %}, a subset {% H \subset F %} is a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space if

  1. {% H %} is a vector space
  2. {% H %} has an inner product which makes {% H %} a Hilbert Space
  3. For any {% x \in X %}, the linear evaluation functional {% E_x : H \rightarrow \mathbb{F} %} defined to be {% E_x(f) = f(x) %} is bounded.
