Inequalities for differentiable reproducing kernels and an application to positive integral operators

Let be an interval and let be a reproducing kernel on. We show that if is in the appropriate differentiability class, it satisfies a 2-parameter family of inequalities of which the diagonal dominance inequality for reproducing kernels is the 0th order case. We provide an application to integral operators: if is a positive definite kernel on (possibly unbounded) with differentiability class and satisfies an extra integrability condition, we show that eigenfunctions are and provide a bound for its Sobolev norm. This bound is shown to be optimal.
