Analysis of Gegenbauer kernel filtration on the hypersphere

Abstract

In this study, we aim to construct explicit forms of convolution formulae for Gegenbauer kernel filtration on the surface of the unit hypersphere. Using the properties of Gegenbauer polynomials, we reformulated Gegenbauer filtration as the limit of a sequence of finite linear combinations of hyperspherical Legendre harmonics and gave proof for the completeness of the associated series. We also proved the existence of a fundamental solution of the spherical Laplace-Beltrami operator on the hypersphere using the filtration kernel. An application of the filtration on a one-dimensional Cauchy wave problem was also demonstrated.
