Examples
For example, when X is finite and H consists of all complex-valued functions on X, then an element of H can be represented as an array of complex numbers. If the usual inner product is used, then Kx is the function whose value is 1 at x and 0 everywhere else, and K(x,y) can be thought of as an identity matrix since K(x,y)=1 when x=y and K(x,y)=0 otherwise. In this case, H is isomorphic to .
A more sophisticated example is the Hardy space H2(D), the space of square-integrable holomorphic functions on the unit disc. So here X=D, the unit disc. It can be shown that the reproducing kernel for H2(D) is
This kernel is an example of a Bergman kernel, named for Stefan Bergman.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
