Reproducing kernels and variable bandwidth

Abstract

We show that a modulation space of type Mm2 (ℝ) is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). In particular, we explore the special cases of variable bandwidth spaces Aceska and Feichtinger (2011) with a suitably chosen weight to provide strong enough decay in the frequency direction. The reproducing kernel property is valid even if Mm2 (ℝ) does not coincide with any of the classical Sobolev spaces because unbounded bandwidth (globally) is allowed. The reproducing kernel will be described explicitly. © 2012 R. Aceska and H. G. Feichtinger.
