On the sphere they have to be identified with the zonal functions. We investigate zonal polynomials with mass concentration at the pole, in the sense of their L1-norm is attaining the minimum value. Such polynomials satisfy a complicated system of nonlinear e-quations (algebraic if the space dimension is odd, only) and also a singular differential equation of third order. The exact order of decay of the minimum value with respect to the polynomial degree is determined. By our results we can prove that some nodal systems on the sphere, which are defined by a minimum-property, are providing fundamental matrices which are diagonal-dominant or bounded with respect to the ∞-norm, at least, as the polynomial degree tends to infinity.展开更多

In this article, we try to clarify several points and give a general overview of the topic, going from the univariate case to the matrix case, in one and then in several arguments. We also survey some results in fields close to Statistics, where hypergeometric functions are actively used, studied and developed.展开更多

They have developed as a useful tool to evaluate certain integrals arising in multivariate distribution theory, which were expanded as power series in terms of the invariant polynomials. Some interesting polynomials has been shown by people working in the field of econometric theory. In this paper. we derive the expected values of C (BR.BU). Ck (BR)C (BU) and Ck (B-1U), where Bd＝X′X and Xnxp is distributed according to an elliptical matrix distribution. We also give their applications in multivariate distribution theory including the related development in econometrics.展开更多

文摘In this paper, we give alternative proofs of some results in [15] （Li R.,1997） about the expected value of zonal polynomials.
