Resumen:
In this paper, we determine all irreducible spherical functions  of any K-type associated to the pair (G;K) = (SO(4); SO(3)). This is accomplished by associating to  a vector valued function H = H(u) of a real variable u, which is analytic at u = 0 and its components are solutions of two coupled systems of ordinary di erential equations. By an appropriate conjugation in- volving Hahn polynomials we uncouple one of the systems then this is taken to a system of hypergeometric equations, leading to express the entries of H in terms of Gegenbauer´s polynomials. Finally, we identify those simultane- ous solutions and use the representation theory of SO(4) to characterize all irreducible spherical functions.
