Abstract

We analyze term-by-term differentiability of uniformly convergent series of the form , where Sm–1 is the unit sphere in , and {Yk} is a sequence of spherical harmonics or even more general functions. Since this class of kernels includes the continuous positive definite kernels on Sm–1, the results in this paper will show that, under certain conditions, the action of convenient differential operators on positive definite (strictly positive definite) kernels on Sm–1 generate positive definite kernels.
