Is there some sufficient condition on the kernel $K$ of a (say, finite rank, to simplify) integral operator $$ \mathcal K:f(x)\in L^2(\mathbb R)\mapsto \int K(x,y)f(y)dy $$ so that it has all its non-zero eigenvalues $\textbf{distinct}$ (i.e. with multiplicity one) ?

    A finite-rank operator on an infinite-dimensional Banach space has infinite-dimensional kernel. Are you talking about the nonzero eigenvalues?2012-08-25
