Abstract

Recent articles by Kushner and Meisner (1980) and Kushner, Lebow and Meisner (1981) have posed the problem of characterising the 'EP' functions f(S) for which Ef(S) for which E(f(S)) = λnf(Σ) for some λn ε{lunate} R, whenever the m × m matrix S has the Wishart distribution W(m, n, Σ). In this article we obtain integral representations for all nonnegative EP functions. It is also shown that any bounded EP function is harmonic, and that EP polynomials may be used to approximate the functions in certain Lp spaces.
