TL;DR
This work constructs a polyanalytic extension of the Gaussian RBF kernel by analyzing the convolution of modulated Hermite functions and applying the Zaremba–Bergman formula. The resulting kernels K_{RBF,N}(z,w)=e^{-rac{1}{4}(z-ar{w})^2} L^{1}_{N-1}(rac{|z-w|^2}{2}) reproduce Hilbert spaces that are isomorphic to polyanalytic Fock spaces and admit a Landau-type operator description. The authors develop an operator framework linking true polyanalytic RBF spaces to polyanalytic Fock spaces, construct polyanalytic Weyl operators, and derive applications via the Christoffel–Darboux formula and Mehler kernels. The approach yields explicit bases, reproducing kernels, and unitarity properties that facilitate time-frequency and quantum-harmonic analysis in the polyanalytic setting, with implications for kernel methods and complex analysis. Overall, the paper provides a coherent analytic bridge between polyanalytic function theory, reproducing-kernel spaces, and operator methods in a Gaussian RBF context.
Abstract
We introduce a polyanalytic extension of the Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) kernel by computing the action of the convolution operator on normalized Hermite functions. In particular, using the Zaremba-Bergman formula we derive an explicit closed form for this new reproducing kernel function. We then establish an isomorphism relating the reproducing kernel Hilbert space induced by the polyanalytic Gaussian RBF kernel with the corresponding polyanalytic Fock space. Moreover, we provide a characterization of polyanalytic Gaussian RBF spaces in terms of a Landau-type operator. In addition, we investigate the polyanalytic counterpart of the Weyl operator, which leads to applications involving the Christoffel-Darboux formula for Hermite polynomials and Mehler's kernel. Finally, we discuss the analogue of the Weyl operator in the context of the polyanalytic Gaussian RBF setting.
