  We propose an adaptive scheme for distributed learning of nonlinear functions
by a network of nodes. The proposed algorithm consists of a local adaptation
stage utilizing multiple kernels with projections onto hyperslabs and a
diffusion stage to achieve consensus on the estimates over the whole network.
Multiple kernels are incorporated to enhance the approximation of functions
with several high and low frequency components common in practical scenarios.
We provide a thorough convergence analysis of the proposed scheme based on the
metric of the Cartesian product of multiple reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.
To this end, we introduce a modified consensus matrix considering this specific
metric and prove its equivalence to the ordinary consensus matrix. Besides, the
use of hyperslabs enables a significant reduction of the computational demand
with only a minor loss in the performance. Numerical evaluations with synthetic
and real data are conducted showing the efficacy of the proposed algorithm
compared to the state of the art schemes.
