Abstract
In this thesis, author have reviewed the classical characterizations of isotropic positive definite functions on Euclidean spaces and spheres, and had applied them to develop a construction of isotropic positive de nite functions on spheres. However, this construction only works when the dimension of the sphere is odd. The next work is to develop isotropic positive de nite functions on all spheres.
