Abstract

This project is intended to address the analysis of some recent results on positive definite and bizonal kernels on the usual m-dimensional unit sphere. The analysis seeks a possible application in the characterization of those positive definite and bizonal kernels which are strictly positive definite of some fixed order. Actually, as some characterizations are already available, the main goal of the project is to verify if the latest techniques that appeared in the literature are enough to determine the remaining classes of strictly positive definite kernels. Along the way, we intend to consider some Pólya criterion for positive and strict positive definineteness recently described in the literature.
