RBF Interpolation with CSRBF of Large Data Sets

This contribution presents a new analysis of properties of the interpolation using Radial Bases Functions (RBF) related to large data sets interpolation. The RBF application is convenient method for scattered d-dimensional interpolation. The RBF methods lead to a solution of linear system of equations and computational complexity of solution is nearly independent of a dimensionality. However, the RBF methods are usually applied for small data sets with a small span geometric coordinates. This contribution explores properties of the RBF interpolation for large data sets and large span of geometric coordinates of the given data sets with regard to expectable numerical stability of computation

A New Radial Basis Function Approximation with Reproduction

Approximation of scattered geometric data is often a task in many engineering problems. The Radial Basis Function (RBF) approximation is appropriate for large scattered (unordered) datasets in d-dimensional space. This method is useful for a higher dimension d>=2, because the other methods require a conversion of a scattered dataset to a semi-regular mesh using some tessellation techniques, which is computationally expensive. The RBF approximation is non-separable, as it is based on a distance of two points. It leads to a solution of overdetermined Linear System of Equations (LSE). In this paper a new RBF approximation method is derived and presented. The presented approach is applicable for d dimensional cases in general

Radial Basis Function Approximations: Comparison and Applications

Approximation of scattered data is often a task in many engineering problems. The Radial Basis Function (RBF) approximation is appropriate for large scattered (unordered) datasets in d-dimensional space. This approach is useful for a higher dimension d>2, because the other methods require the conversion of a scattered dataset to an ordered dataset (i.e. a semi-regular mesh is obtained by using some tessellation techniques), which is computationally expensive. The RBF approximation is non-separable, as it is based on the distance between two points. This method leads to a solution of Linear System of Equations (LSE) Ac=h. In this paper several RBF approximation methods are briefly introduced and a comparison of those is made with respect to the stability and accuracy of computation. The proposed RBF approximation offers lower memory requirements and better quality of approximation
