A simple approach to the variational theory for interpolation on spheres (Q4699397)

Let \(\pi_k(S^{d-1})\) denote the restriction of space of polynomials of degree at most \(k\) to the sphere \(S^{d-1}\) in \(\mathbb R^d\). Let \(U_k\) be \(\pi_k(S^{d-1})\cap \pi_{k-1}^{\perp}(S^{d-1})\) and \(\{y_j^{(k)};j=1,\dots,d_k\}\) be an orthonormal basis of \(U_k\). For \(l\in {\mathbb Z}_{+}\) and \(\{\beta_k \}_{k=l}^{\infty}\), where \(\beta_k\geq 1\) we define the space \[ X_k= \Biggl\{\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\sum_{j=1}^{d_k} a_{kj}Y_j^{(k)}: \sum_{k=l}^{\infty}\sum_{j=1}^{d_k} a_{kj}^2\Biggr\} \] Condition \(\sum_{k=l}^{\infty} \beta_{k}^{-2}d_k\) provides continuous embedding \(X_k\) in \(C(S^{d-1})\) and is sufficient for some representation formulas , which help to construct minimal norm interpolants.
