In the first part we give conditions on the kernel $k: \\Omega \\times \\Omega \\rightarrow \\mathbb{R}$ of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $H$ continuously embedded via the identity mapping into $L^2(\\Omega, \\mu),$ which are equivalent to the fact that $H$ is even compactly embedded into $L^2(\\Omega, \\mu).$ In the second part we consider a scenario from infinite-variate $L^2$-approximation. Suppose that the embedding of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of univariate functions with reproducing kernel $1+k$ into $L^2(\\Omega, \\mu)$ is compact. We provide a simple criterion for checking compactness of the embedding of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space with the kernel given by $$\\sum_{u \\in \\mathcal{U}} \\gamma_u \\bigotimes_{j \\in u}k,$$ where $\\mathcal{U} = \\{u \\subset \\mathbb{N}: |u| < \\infty\\},$ and $(\\gamma_u)_{u \\in \\mathcal{U}}$ is a sequence of non-negative numbers, into an appropriate $L^2$ space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-06-15T10:04:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "reproducing kernel hilbert space", "infinite-variate function approximation", "compact embeddings", "short note", "largely independent parts" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
