    Transfinite thin plate spline interpolation

    Duchon's method of thin plate splines defines a polyharmonic interpolant to scattered data values as the minimizer of a certain integral functional. For transfinite interpolation, i.e. interpolation of continuous data prescribed on curves or hypersurfaces, Kounchev has developed the method of polysplines, which are piecewise polyharmonic functions of fixed smoothness across the given hypersurfaces and satisfy some boundary conditions. Recently, Bejancu has introduced boundary conditions of Beppo Levi type to construct a semi-cardinal model for polyspline interpolation to data on an infinite set of parallel hyperplanes. The present paper proves that, for periodic data on a finite set of parallel hyperplanes, the polyspline interpolant satisfying Beppo Levi boundary conditions is in fact a thin plate spline, i.e. it minimizes a Duchon type functional

    Error estimates for approximate operator inversion via Kernel-based methods.

    No full text
    In this paper we investigate error estimates for the approximate solution of operator equations Af = u, where u needs not to be a function on the same domain as f. We use the well-established theory of generalized interpolation, also known as optimal recovery in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, to generate an approximation to f from finitely many samples u(x1),…, u(xN). To derive error estimates for this approximation process we will show sampling inequalities on fairly general Riemannian manifolds
