<h2 id="___sec24" class="anchor">Different kernels and Mercer's theorem </h2>
<p>
A mathematical (quadratic) optimization problem, or just optimization problem, has the form
There are several popular kernels being used. These are
<ol>
<li> Linear: \( K(\boldsymbol{x},\boldsymbol{y})=\boldsymbol{x}^T\boldsymbol{y} \),</li>
<li> Polynomial: \( K(\boldsymbol{x},\boldsymbol{y})=(\boldsymbol{x}^T\boldsymbol{y}+\gamma)^d \),</li>
<li> Gaussian Radial Basis Function: \( K(\boldsymbol{x},\boldsymbol{y})=\exp{\left(-\gamma\vert\vert\boldsymbol{x}-\boldsymbol{y}\vert\vert^2\right)} \),</li>
<li> Tanh: \( K(\boldsymbol{x},\boldsymbol{y})=\tanh{(\boldsymbol{x}^T\boldsymbol{y}+\gamma)} \),</li>
</ol>
and many other ones.
<p>
An important theorem for us is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercer%27s_theorem" target="_self">Mercer's
theorem</a>. The
theorem states that if a kernel function \( K \) is symmetric, continuous
and leads to a positive semi-definite matrix \( \boldsymbol{P} \) then there
exists a function \( \phi \) that maps \( \boldsymbol{x}_i \) and \( \boldsymbol{x}_j \) into
another space (possibly with much higher dimensions) such that
$$
\begin{align*}
&\mathrm{min}_{\lambda}\hspace{0.2cm} \frac{1}{2}\boldsymbol{\lambda}^T\boldsymbol{P}\boldsymbol{\lambda}+\boldsymbol{q}^T\boldsymbol{\lambda},\\ \nonumber
&\mathrm{subject\hspace{0.1cm}to} \hspace{0.2cm} \boldsymbol{G}\boldsymbol{\lambda} \preceq \boldsymbol{h} \wedge \boldsymbol{A}\boldsymbol{\lambda}=f.
\end{align*}
K(\boldsymbol{x}_i,\boldsymbol{x}_j)=\phi(\boldsymbol{x}_i)^T\phi(\boldsymbol{x}_j).
$$
subject to some constraints for say a selected set \( i=1,2,\dots, n \).
In our case we are optimizing with respect to the Lagrangian multipliers \( \lambda_i \), and the
vector \( \boldsymbol{\lambda}=[\lambda_1, \lambda_2,\dots, \lambda_n] \) is the optimization variable we are dealing with.
<p>
So you can use \( K \) as a kernel since you know \( \phi \) exists, even if
you don&#8217;t know what \( \phi \) is.
<p>
In our case we are particularly interested in a class of optimization problems called convex optmization problems.
In our discussion on gradient descent methods we discussed at length the definition of a convex function.
<p>
Convex optimization problems play a central role in applied mathematics and we recommend strongly <a href="http://web.stanford.edu/~boyd/cvxbook/" target="_self">Boyd and Vandenberghe's text on the topics</a>.
Note that some frequently used kernels (such as the Sigmoid kernel)
don&#8217;t respect all of Mercer&#8217;s conditions, yet they generally work well
in practice.
