    Hi Min,
    sorry for the delayed answer and
    thank you to verify the consistency of the kernel description.

    The question was
    "in your website, in equation K_all(O_1,O_2) as below, it
    seems that the loop range of j should be [1,n’] rather than [I,n’]. Is it?
    "
    You are in right, it is a typo. In the source code the loop range is the one
    that you have told. When I was
    describing it in the web page I made a mistake.

    Cheers

    Alessandro
