چکیده

Radial basis function methods for interpolation to values of a function of several variables are particularly useful when the data points are in general positions, but hardly any sparsity occurs in the matrix of the linear system of interpolation equations. Therefore an iterative procedure for solving the system is studied. The k-th iteration calculates the element in a k-dimensional linear sub-space of radial functions that is closest to the required interpolant, the subspaces being generated by a Krylov construction that employs a self-adjoint operator A. Distances between functions are measured by the semi-norm that is induced by the well-known conditional positive or negative deenite properties of the matrix of the interpolation problem, and conditions on A are found that guarantee successful termination of the iterations in exact arithmetic. A particular choice of A is recommended and is tried in numerical experiments. Fortunately, the number of iterations to achieve high accuracy is much less than the number that provides termination in theory, at most ten iterations being usual in practice. Thus the given procedure solves the interpolation equations very eeciently when the number of data is large.

Fast Radial Basis Function Interpolation via Preconditioned Krylov Iteration

We consider a preconditioned Krylov subspace iterative algorithm presented by Faul et al. (IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis (2005) 25, 1—24) for computing the coefficients of a radial basis function interpolant over N data points. This preconditioned Krylov iteration has been demonstrated to be extremely robust to the distribution of the points and the iteration rapidly convergent. However, th...

Approximation of a Fuzzy Function by Using Radial Basis Functions Interpolation

In the present paper, Radial Basis Function interpolations are applied to approximate a fuzzy function $tilde{f}:Rrightarrow mathcal{F}(R)$, on a discrete point set $X={x_1,x_2,ldots,x_n}$, by a fuzzy-valued function $tilde{S}$. RBFs are based on linear combinations of terms which include a single univariate function. Applying RBF to approximate a fuzzy function, a linear system wil...

A new trust-region algorithm based on radial basis function interpolation

Optimization using radial basis functions as an interpolation tool in trust-region (ORBIT), is a derivative-free framework based on fully linear models to solve unconstrained local optimization, especially when the function evaluations are computationally expensive. This algorithm stores the interpolation points and function values to using at subsequent iterations. Despite the comparatively ad...

Fast Computation of Orthonormal Basis for Rbf Spaces through Krylov Space Methods

In the last years, in the setting of Radial Basis Function (RBF), the study of approximation algorithms has particularly focused on the construction of (stable) bases for the associated Hilbert spaces. One of the way of describing such spaces and their properties is the study of a particular integral operator and its spectrum. We proposed in a recent work the so-called WSVD basis, which is stri...
