{\bf Abstract: } In this announcement, we shall state simply a general meaning for reproducing kernels. We would like to answer the general and essential question that: what are reproducing kernels?
\bigskip
\section{ Introduction}
\medskip
Based on \cite{ss,ss2}, we would like to introduce the concept of reproducing kernels and at the same time, we would like to answer the general and essential question that: what are reproducing kernels?
\bigskip
\section{ What is a reproducing kernel}
\medskip
We shall consider a family of {\bf any complex valued functions} $\{U_n(x)\}_{n=0}^\infty$ defined on an abstract set $E$ that are linearly independent. Then, we consider the form:
\begin{equation}
K_N(x,y) =\sum_{n=0}^N U_n(x) \overline{U_n(y)}.
\end{equation}
Then, $K_N(x,y)$ is a {\bf reproducing kernel} in the following sense:
We shall consider the family of all the functions, for arbitrary complex numbers $\{C_n\}_{n=0}^N$
\begin{equation}
F(x) =\sum_{n=0}^N C_nU_n(x)
\end{equation}
and we introduce the norm
\begin{equation}
\Vert F \Vert^2=\sum_{n=0}^N |C_n|^2.
\end{equation}
The function space forms a Hilbert space $H_{K_N}(E)$ determined by the kernel $K_N(x,y)$ with the inner product induced from the norm (2.3), as usual. Then, we note that, for any $y \in E$
\begin{equation}
K_N(\cdot,y) \in H_{K_N}(E)
\end{equation}
and for any $ F \in H_{K_N}(E)$ and for any $y \in E$
\begin{equation}
F (y) =( F(\cdot), K_N(\cdot,y) )_{ H_{K_N}(E)} = \sum_{n=0}^N C_n U_n(y) .
\end{equation}
The properties (2.4) and (2.5) are called a {\bf reproducing property} of the kernel $K_N(x,y)$ for the Hilbert space $H_{K_N}(E)$, because the functions $F$ in the inner product (2.5) are appeared in the left hand side. This formula may be considered that the functions $F$ may be represented by the kernel $K_N(x,y)$ and the Hilbert space $H_{K_N}(E)$ is represented by the kernel $K_N(x,y)$.
\bigskip
\section{ A general reproducing kernel}
\medskip
We wish to introduce a preHilbert space by
\[
H_{K_\infty}
:=
\bigcup_{N \geqq 0}H_{K_N}(E).
\]
For any $ F\in H_{K_\infty}$, there exists a space $H_{K_M}(E)$ containing the function $F$ for some $M \geqq 0$. Then, for any
$N$ such that $ M< N$,
$$
H_{K_M}(E) \subset H_{K_N}(E)
$$
and, for the function $ F \in H_{K_M}$,
$$
\Vert F\Vert_{H_{K_M}(E) } = \Vert F\Vert_{H_{K_N}(E)}.
$$
Therefore, there exists the limit:
\[
\|F\|_{H_{K_\infty}}
:=
\lim_{N \to \infty}\|F\|_{H_{K_N}(E)}.
\]
Denote by $H_\infty$ the completion of $H_{K_\infty}$ with respect to this norm.
Note that for any
$ M < N$, and for any $F_M \in H_{K_M}(E)$, $F_M \in H_{K_N}(E)$ and furthermore,
in particular, that
\[
\langle f,g \rangle_{H_{K_M(E)}}
=
\langle f,g \rangle_{H_{K_N(E)}}
\]
for all $N>M $ and $f,g \in H_{K_M}(E)$.
\bigskip
{\bf Theorem} Under the above conditions,
for any function $F \in H_\infty$ and for $F_N^*$
defined
by
\[
F_N^*(x)=\langle F,K_N(\cdot,x) \rangle_{ H_\infty},
\]
$F_N^* \in H_{K_N}(E)$ for all $N>0$,
and
as $N \to \infty$,
$F_N^* \to F$
in the topology of $H_\infty$.
