Mercer's theorem

In mathematics, specifically functional analysis, Mercer's theorem is a representation of a symmetric positive-definite function on a square as a sum of a convergent sequence of product functions. This theorem, presented in , is one of the most notable results of the work of James Mercer. It is an important theoretical tool in the theory of integral equations; it is used in the Hilbert space theory of stochastic processes, for example the Karhunen–Loève theorem; and it is also used to characterize a symmetric positive semi-definite kernel.〔http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bartlett/courses/281b-sp08/7.pdf〕
== Introduction ==
To explain Mercer's theorem, we first consider an important special case; see below for a more general formulation.
A ''kernel'', in this context, is a symmetric continuous function that maps
: K: () \times () \rightarrow \mathbb
where symmetric means that ''K''(''x'', ''s'') = ''K''(''s'', ''x'').
''K'' is said to be ''non-negative definite'' (or positive semidefinite) if and only if
: \sum_^n\sum_^n K(x_i, x_j) c_i c_j \geq 0
for all finite sequences of points ''x''1, ..., ''x''''n'' of () and all choices of real numbers ''c''1, ..., ''c''''n'' (cf. positive definite kernel).
Associated to ''K'' is a linear operator (more specifically a Hilbert–Schmidt integral operator) on functions defined by the integral
: (\varphi )(x) =\int_a^b K(x,s) \varphi(s)\, ds.
For technical considerations we assume φ can range through the space
''L''2() (see Lp space) of square-integrable real-valued functions.
Since ''T'' is a linear operator, we can talk about eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of ''T''.
Theorem. Suppose ''K'' is a continuous symmetric non-negative definite kernel. Then there is an orthonormal basis
i of ''L''2() consisting of eigenfunctions of ''T''''K'' such that the corresponding
sequence of eigenvalues ''i'' is nonnegative. The eigenfunctions corresponding to non-zero eigenvalues are continuous on () and ''K'' has the representation
: K(s,t) = \sum_^\infty \lambda_j \, e_j(s) \, e_j(t)
where the convergence is absolute and uniform.
