Conditionally positive definite dot product kernels

AbstractThis paper deals with conditionally positive definite kernels on Euclidean spaces. The focus here is on dot product kernels, that is, those depending on the inner product of the variables. Among the results, we include some properties relating conditional positive definiteness and standard convolution in the line and also results related to the characterization of the conditionally positive definite dot product kernels with respect to finite-dimensional polynomial spaces. We also introduce and characterize two large classes of strictly conditionally positive definite dot product kernels
