Abstract
The paper introduces new sufficient conditions of strict positive definiteness for kernels on d-dimensional spheres which are not radially symmetric but possess specific coefficient structures. The results use the series expansion of the kernel in spherical harmonics. The kernels either have a convolutional form or are axially symmetric with respect to one axis. The given results on convolutional kernels generalise the result derived by Chen et al. (Proc Am Math Soc 131:2733-2740, 2003) for radial kernels.
