Iterated kernel
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
A function that is formed from the given kernel
of an integral operator (cf. Kernel of an integral operator)

is called the
-th iterate, or
-th iterated kernel, of
. An iterated kernel is sometimes called a repeated kernel. If
is a continuous or square-integrable kernel, then all its iterates are continuous, respectively, square integrable. If
is a symmetric kernel, so are all its iterates. The kernel
is the kernel of the operator
