Abstract

We analyze term-by-term differentiability of uniformly convergent series of the form Sigma(infinity)(k=0) rho Y-k(k)(x)<(Y-k(y))over bar>, x, y is an element of Sm-1,where Sm-1 is the unit sphere in R-m, rho(k) >= 0,k - 0, 1, . . . , Sigma(infinity)(k=0) rho(k) > 0,and {Y-k} is a sequence of spherical harmonics or even more general functions. Since this class of kernels includes the continuous positive de fi nite kernels on Sm-1, the results in this paper will show that, under certain conditions, the action of convenient differential operators on positive de fi nite (strictly positive de fi nite) kernels on Sm-1 generate positive de fi nite kernels.
