Kernel-based Stochastic Approximation Framework for Nonlinear Operator Learning
Kernel-based Stochastic Approximation Framework for Nonlinear Operator Learning arXiv:2509.11070v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We develop a stochastic approximation framework for learning nonlinear operators between infinite-dimensional spaces utilizing general Mercer operator-valued kernels. Our framework encompasses two key classes: (i) compact kernels, which admit discrete spectral decompositions, and (ii) diagonal kernels of the form $K(x,x’)=k(x,x’)T$, where $k$…
