Theoretical and computational aspects of multivariate interpolation with increasingly flat radial basis functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multivariate interpolation of smooth data using smooth radial basis functions is considered. The behavior of the interpolants in the limit of nearly flat radial basis functions is studied both theoretically and numerically. Explicit criteria for different types of limits are given. Using the results for the limits, the dependence of the error on the shape parameter of the radial basis function is investigated. The mechanisms that determine the optimal shape parameter value are studied and explained through approximate expansions of the interpolation error.

Multivariate interpolation with increasingly flat radial basis functions of finite smoothness
In this paper, we consider multivariate interpolation with radial basis functions of finite smoothness. In particular, we show that interpolants by radial basis functions in R with finite smoothness of even order converge to a polyharmonic spline interpolant as the scale parameter of the radial basis functions goes to zero, i.e., the radial basis functions become increasingly flat.
متن کاملScattered Data Modelling Using Radial Basis Functions
Radial basis functions are traditional and powerful tools for multivariate interpolation from scattered data. This self-contained talk surveys both theoretical and practical aspects of scattered data fitting by radial basis functions. To this end, basic features of the radial basis function interpolation scheme are first reviewed, such as well-posedness, numerical stability and approximation or...
متن کاملThe method of radial basis functions for the solution of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations system.
In this paper, An effective and simple numerical method is proposed for solving systems of integral equations using radial basis functions (RBFs). We present an algorithm based on interpolation by radial basis functions including multiquadratics (MQs), using Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto nodes and weights. Also a theorem is proved for convergence of the algorithm. Some numerical examples are presented...
متن کاملLimit Problems for Interpolation by Analytic Radial Basis Functions
Interpolation by analytic radial basis functions like the Gaussian and inverse multiquadrics can degenerate in two ways: the radial basis functions can be scaled to become “increasingly flat”, or the data points “coalesce” in the limit while the radial basis functions stays fixed. Both cases call for a careful regularization. If carried out explicitly, this yields a preconditioning technique fo...
متن کاملA new class of oscillatory radial basis functions
Radial basis functions (RBFs) form a primary tool for multivariate interpolation, and they are also receiving increased attention for solving PDEs on irregular domains. Traditionally, only non-oscillatory radial functions have been considered. We find here that a certain class of oscillatory radial functions (including Gaussians as their limiting case) leads to non-singular interpolants with in...
