Abstract: | A zonal function (ZF) network is a function of the form x↦∑
k=1
n
c
k
(x · y
k), where x and the y
k's are on the unit sphere in q+1 dimensional Euclidean space, and where the y
k's are scattered points. In this paper, we study the degree of approximation by ZF networks. In particular, we compare this
degree of approximation with that obtained with the classical spherical harmonics. In many cases of interest, this is the
best possible for a given amount of information regarding the target function. We also discuss the construction of ZF networks
using scattered data. Our networks require no training in the traditional sense, and provide theoretically predictable rates
of approximation.
