Positive definite matrices and differentiable reproducing kernel inequalities (Q2492975)

The authors show that if \(k(x, y)\) is a reproducing kernel defined on \([a,b]^2\) with continuous partial derivatives of order \(\leq n\), then \[ \Biggl|{\partial^{k+m}\over\partial x^k\partial y^m} k(x,y)\Biggr|^2\leq {\partial^{2k}\over\partial x^k\partial y^k} k(x,x){\partial^{2m}\over\partial x^m\partial y^m} k(y,y) \] for \(k, m= 0,1,\dots, n\). Applications are given to integral operators.
