Abstract: | This paper describes a new approach to the problem of computing spherical expansions of zonal functions on Euclidean spheres.
We derive an explicit formula for the coefficients of the expansion expressing them in terms of the Taylor coefficients of
the profile function rather than (as done usually) in terms of its integrals against Gegenbauer polynomials. Our proof of
this result is based on a polynomial identity equivalent to the canonical decomposition of homogeneous polynomials and uses
only basic properties of this decomposition together with simple facts concerning zonal harmonic polynomials. As corollaries,
we obtain direct and apparently new derivations of the so-called plane wave expansion and of the expansion of the Poisson
kernel for the unit ball.
