We discuss extensions of this approach that can be applied in the setting of iterated approximate moving least squares approximation of function value data and for RBF pseudo-spectral methods for the solution of partial differential equations. The method of cross validation has long been used in the statistics literature, and the special case of leave-one-out cross validation forms the basis of the algorithm for choosing an optimal value of the shape parameter proposed by Rippa in the setting of scattered data interpolation with RBFs. In most papers the authors end up choosing this shape parameter by trial and error or some other ad hoc means. Used as class notes for graduate courses at Northwestern University, Illinois Institute of Technology, and Vanderbilt University, this book will appeal to both mathematics and engineering graduate students.Ībstract: Many radial basis function (RBF) methods contain a free shape parameter that plays an important role for the accuracy of the method. A good balance is supplied between the necessary theory and implementation in terms of many MATLAB programs, with examples and applications to illustrate key points. Meshfree approximation methods, such as radial basis function and moving least squares method, are discussed from a scattered data approximation and partial differential equations point of view. The emphasis here is on a hands-on approach that includes MATLAB routines for all basic operations.
Whereas other works focus almost entirely on theoretical aspects or applications in the engineering field, this book provides the salient theoretical results needed for a basic understanding of meshfree approximation methods.
TL DR: In this article, the authors provide the salient theoretical results needed for a basic understanding of mesh-free approximation methods, such as radial basis function and moving least squares method, and a good balance is supplied between the necessary theory and implementation in terms of many MATLAB programs.Ībstract: Meshfree approximation methods are a relatively new area of research, and there are only a few books covering it at present.
