On means of distances on the surface of a sphere. II. (Upper bounds)

Gerold Wagner

Vol. 154 (1992), No. 2, 381–396
Abstract

Given N points x1,,xN on the unit sphere S in Euclidean d space (d 3), lower bounds for the deviation of the sum |x xj|α, α > 1 d; x S, from its mean value were established in terms of L1-norms in the first part of this paper. In the present part it is shown that these bounds are best possible. Our main tool is a multidimensional quadrature formula with equal weights.
