Extending Ky Fan's eigenvalues inequality to kernel operators
--Migrating from MSE since it might fit better here--
Base result
The following result in Terry Tao's book, 'p. 47, Ky Fan inequality' reads as:
$$\sum_i\lambda_i(A+B) \leq \sum_i \lambda_i(A) + \...

Eigenvalue estimates for kernel integral operator for Laplace kernel on unit-sphere in high-dimensions
Let $d$ be a large positive integer and let $S_{d-1}$ be the unit-sphere in $\mathbb R^d$ and let $K_\gamma:S_{d-1} \times S_{d-1} \to \mathbb R$ be defined by $K_\gamma(x,x') = e^{-\|x-x'\|_2^\gamma}$...

Eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of an operator defined by a certain integral
Let $k :[0,1]^2 \rightarrow \bf{R} $ be a kernel function definded by
$ k(x,y)= (1- max(x,y))^2 .$ Now, let $ L $ be a linear operator defined on $ L^2 [0,1] $ by $$ Lf(x):=\int_0^1 k(x,y)f(y)dy$$. ...
