Representer Theorems In Banach Spaces: Minimum Norm Interpolation, Regularized Learning And Semi-Discrete Inverse Problems, Rui Wang, Yusheng Xu

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

Learning a function from a finite number of sampled data points (measurements) is a fundamental problem in science and engineering. This is often formulated as a minimum norm interpolation (MNI) problem, a regularized learning problem or, in general, a semi discrete inverse problem (SDIP), in either Hilbert spaces or Banach spaces. The goal of this paper is to systematically study solutions of these problems in Banach spaces. We aim at obtaining explicit representer theorems for their solutions, on which convenient solution methods can then be developed. For the MNI problem, the explicit representer theorems enable us to express the infimum …
