By reducing the problem to study the existence of regular solutions of the Riccati PDE, the necessary conditions for the discreteness of the spectrum of operator <i>H</i> are obtained under the assumption that it is bounded below. These results are similar to the ones obtained by the author in [26] for the one-dimensional case.

We here unveil an analogy with concepts from tropical geometry, proving that tropical positive semidefinite kernels are also endowed with equivalent viewpoints, stemming from Fenchel–Moreau conjugations. This tropical analogue of Aronszajn’s theorem shows that these kernels correspond to a feature map, define monotonous operators, and generate max-plus function spaces endowed with a reproducing property. They furthermore include all the Hilbertian kernels classically studied as well as Monge arrays. However, two relevant notions of tropical reproducing kernels must be distinguished, based either on linear or sesquilinear interpretations. The sesquilinear interpretation is the most expressive one, since reproducing spaces then encompass classical max-plus spaces, such as those of (semi)convex functions. In contrast, in the linear interpretation, the reproducing kernels are characterized by a restrictive condition, von Neumann regularity. Finally, we provide a tropical analogue of the “representer theorems”, showing that a class of infinite dimensional regression and interpolation problems admit solutions lying in finite dimensional spaces.

Our approach is to ask which compact operators are commutators AB − BA of compact operators A,B; and to analyze the implications of Joel Anderson’s contributions to this problem. By extending the techniques of Anderson, we obtain new classes of operators that are commutators of compact operators beyond those obtained by the second and the fourth author.
