Stationary binary subdivision schemes using radial basis function interpolation

A new family of interpolatory stationary subdivision schemes is introduced by using radial basis function interpolation. This work extends earlier studies on interpolatory stationary subdivision schemes in two aspects. First, it provides a wider class of interpolatory schemes; each 2L-point interpolatory scheme has the freedom of choosing a degree (say, m) of polynomial reproducing. Depending on the combination (2L,m), the proposed scheme suggests different subdivision rules. Second, the scheme turns out to be a 2L-point interpolatory scheme with a tension parameter. The conditions for convergence and smoothness are also studied.
