We consider the class $Psi_d$ of continuous functions $psi colon [0,pi] to mathbb{R}$, with $psi(0)=1$ such that the associated isotropic kernel $C(xi,eta)= psi(theta(xi,eta))$ ---with $xi,eta in mathbb{S}^d$ and $theta$ the geodesic distance--- is positive definite on the product of two $d$-dimensional spheres $mathbb{S}^d$. We face Problems 1 and 3 proposed in the essay Gneiting (2013b). We have considered an extension that encompasses the solution of Problem 1 solved in Fiedler (2013), regarding the expression of the $d$-Schoenberg coefficients of members of $Psi_d$ as combinations of $1$-Schoenberg coefficients. We also give expressions for the computation of Schoenberg coefficients of the exponential and Askey families for all even dimensions through recurrence formula. Problem 3 regards the curvature at the origin of members of $Psi_d$ of local support. We have improved the current bounds for determining this curvature, which is of applied interest at least for $d=2$.
Positive definite functions on spheres have received an increasing interest in many branches of mathematics and statistics. In particular, the Schoenberg sequences in the spectral representation of positive definite functions have been studied by sev
The main purpose of our paper is a new approach to design of algorithms of Kaczmarz type in the framework of operators in Hilbert space. Our applications include a diverse list of optimization problems, new Karhunen-Lo`eve transforms, and Principal C
We establish a duality for two factorization questions, one for general positive definite (p.d) kernels $K$, and the other for Gaussian processes, say $V$. The latter notion, for Gaussian processes is stated via Ito-integration. Our approach to facto
The Riemannian metric on the manifold of positive definite matrices is defined by a kernel function $phi$ in the form $K_D^phi(H,K)=sum_{i,j}phi(lambda_i,lambda_j)^{-1} Tr P_iHP_jK$ when $sum_ilambda_iP_i$ is the spectral decomposition of the foot po
The paper the title refers to is that in {em Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society}, {bf 40} (1997), 367-374. Taking it as an excuse we intend to realize a twofold purpose: to atomize that important result showing by the way connections w
