Title: Approximating with Symmetric Positive Definite Reproducing Kernels
Abstract: Symmetric positive definite kernels arise naturally as the reproducing kernels of Hilbert spaces, including certain Sobolev spaces of the form $ W_{2}^{m}(Omega) $. We explore the connection between reproducing kernels and symmetric positive definite kernels, and show that the corresponding Hilbert spaces contain unique norm-minimizing solutions to interpolation problems.
