Kernel matrices are a key quantity in kernel-based approximation, and important properties such as stability and algorithmic convergence can be analyzed with their help. In this work we refine a multivariate Ingham-type theorem, which is then leveraged to obtain novel and refined stability estimates on kernel matrices. For this, we focus on the case of finitely smooth kernels, such as the family of Matérn or Wendland kernels, while noting that the results also extend to norm-equivalent kernels. In particular we obtain results that relate the Rayleigh quotients of kernel matrices for kernels of different smoothness to each other. Finally we comment on conclusions for the eigenvectors of these kernel matrices.
