| Research Type | Theoretical | The new approach considers Taylor series approximations of radial kernel functions. For the Gauss kernel on the unit cube, the paper establishes an upper bound of the associated eigenfunctions, which grows only polynomially with respect to the index. The novel approach substantiates smaller regularization parameters than considered in the literature, overall leading to better approximations. This improvement confirms low rank approximation methods such as the Nyström method. |

| Pseudocode | No | The paper focuses on mathematical derivations, theorems, and proofs. There are no explicitly labeled pseudocode blocks or algorithms presented in a structured format. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not contain any explicit statements about releasing source code, nor does it provide links to code repositories or mention code in supplementary materials. The work is theoretical in nature. |
| Open Datasets | No | The paper does not mention the use of any specific datasets for empirical evaluation, nor does it provide any links, DOIs, repositories, or formal citations for public or open datasets. The phrase 'The data considered here are located in compact sets in higher dimensions' refers to the mathematical context rather than specific experimental data. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper does not involve empirical experiments with datasets, and therefore, it does not provide any information regarding training/test/validation dataset splits. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper is theoretical and focuses on mathematical derivations and proofs. It does not describe any computational experiments or specify any hardware used for such purposes. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper is theoretical and focuses on mathematical concepts and proofs. It does not describe any software implementation or list specific software dependencies with version numbers. |
| Experiment Setup | No | The paper presents theoretical contributions with mathematical derivations and proofs. It does not include details on experimental setup, hyperparameters, or system-level training settings as no empirical experiments are described. |
