Gaussian Radial Growth

چکیده
The growth of planar and spatial objects is often modelled using one-dimensional size parameters, e.g. volume, area or average radius. We take a more detailed approach and model how the boundary of a growing object expands in time. We mainly consider star-shaped planar objects. The model can be regarded as a dynamic deformable template model. The limiting shape of the object may be circular but this is only one possibility among a range of limiting shapes. An application to tumour growth is presented. Two extensions of the model, involving time series and Lévy bases, respectively, are briefly touched upon.

Stable Gaussian radial basis function method for solving Helmholtz equations
Radial basis functions (RBFs) are a powerful tool for approximating the solution of high-dimensional problems. They are often referred to as a meshfree method and can be spectrally accurate. In this paper, we analyze a new stable method for evaluating Gaussian radial basis function interpolants based on the eigenfunction expansion. We develop our approach in two-dimensional spaces for so...

In this paper, q-Gaussian Radial Basis Functions are presented as an alternative to Gaussian Radial Basis Function. This model is based on q-Gaussian distribution, which parametrizes the Gaussian distribution by adding a new parameter q. The q-Gaussian Radial Basis Function allows different Radial Basis Functions to be represented by updating the new parameter q. For example, when the q-Gaussia...

Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs) have been successfully employed in several function approximation and pattern recognition problems. In RBFNs, radial basis functions are used to compute the activation of artificial neurons. The use of different radial basis functions in RBFN has been reported in the literature.

متن کاملComparing fixed and variable-width Gaussian networks
The role of width of Gaussians in two types of computational models is investigated: Gaussian radial-basis-functions (RBFs) where both widths and centers vary and Gaussian kernel networks which have fixed widths but varying centers. The effect of width on functional equivalence, universal approximation property, and form of norms in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) is explored. It is pr...
