Can someone please explain how this is related to a kernel in plain simple English? Are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercer%27s_theorem and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercer%27s_condition are same? I am not able to understand significance of Mercer's_condition —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.178.162.216 (talk) 09:52, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not correct[edit]

To the best of my knowledge, the kernel has to be symmetric and continuous (or measurable). This article needs attention of an expert. --64.134.26.199 (talk) 22:06, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Explanation[edit]

Fubini may be the relevant explanation for the first equality of the last section, but it is not clear that it applies directly. In particular, note that $g(x)$ is only assumed to be in $L^2$ at this point, not in $L^1$. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:EA00:104:3C00:653B:96F:A76A:CAE5 (talk) 16:10, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
