Synopsis

It is necessary to estimate parameters by approximation and interpolation in many areas-from computer graphics to inverse methods to signal processing. Radial basis functions are modern, powerful tools which are being used more widely as the limitations of other methods become apparent. Martin Buhmann provides a complete analysis of radial basic functions from the theoretical and practical implementation viewpoints. He also includes a comprehensive bibliography.

About this title

Book Description

In many areas, from computer graphics to inverse methods to signal processing it is necessary to estimate parameters by approximation and interpolation. Radial basis functions are a modern and powerful tool which work well in very general circumstances, and are being widely used as the limitations of other methods become apparent.This is the first book devoted to the subject and the author's aim is to give a thorough treatment from both the theoretical and practical implementation viewpoints. A comprehensive bibliography rounds off what will prove a very valuable work.

Review

"A must read for anyone making direct use of this tool, and a must browse for anyone interested in keeping up with the state of the art in multivariate approximation theory in general." Computing Reviews
