چکیده
Among other things, we prove that multiquadric surface interpolation is always solvable, thereby settling a conjecture of R. Franke.

Interpolation by Basis Functions of Different Scales and Shapes
Under very mild additional assumptions, translates of conditionally positive definite radial basis functions allow unique interpolation to scattered multivariate data, because the interpolation matrices have a symmetric and positive definite dominant part. In many applications, the data density varies locally, and then the translates should get different scalings that match the local data densi...
متن کاملGeneralized Hermite Interpolation via Matrix-valued Conditionally Positive Definite Functions
In this paper, we consider a broad class of interpolation problems, for both scalarand vector-valued multivariate functions subject to linear side conditions, such as being divergence-free, where the data are generated via integration against compactly supported distributions. We show that, by using certain families of matrix-valued conditionally positive definite functions, such interpolation ...
متن کاملScattered Data Interpolation with Polynomial Precision and Conditionally Positive Definite Functions
Sometimes the assumption on the form (1.1) of the solution to the scattered data interpolation Problem 1.2.1 is extended by adding certain polynomials to the expansion,
متن کاملPointwise Estimates Formultivariate Interpolation Using Conditionally Positive Definite Functions
We seek pointwise error estimates for interpolants, on scattered data, constructed using a basis of conditionally positive deenite functions of order m, and polynomials of degree not exceeding m-1. Two diierent approaches to the analysis of such interpolation are considered. The former uses distributions and reproducing kernel ideas, whilst the latter is based on a Lagrange function approach. E...
متن کاملDraft of August 17, 2001 Optimal Stability Results for Interpolation by Kernel Functions
This paper proves lower bounds for the eigenvalues of positive definite matrices arising from interpolation of scattered data by positive definite kernels. By comparison with upper bounds for the interpolation error, it turns out that both bounds are asymptotically optimal for sufficiently dense data sets. Applications include interpolation on the sphere, the torus, and general Riemannian manif...
