Extract

A radial basis function approximation in n variables has the form

where ø:ℝn → ℝ denotes the n-variate, spherically symmetric function associated with a prescribed radial basis function ø+:ℝ+ → ℝ, i.e. ø = ø+(‖ · ‖), the norm being Euclidean. The are real coefficients (often, approximants s above are considered where only finitely many λjs are non-zero), and is a fixed set of points in ℝn (of course, only the xj with non-zero coefficient λj affect s). Thus s is a linear combination of translates of a radially symmetric function which can be of global support, the simplest choice being , where c is a positive parameter. The latter is referred to as the multiquadric function and is usefull in applications.
