Compression using Quasi-Interpolation

Abstract

We consider quasi-interpolation with a main application in radial basis function approximations and compression in this article. Constructing and using these quasi-interpolants, we consider wavelet and compression-type approximations from their linear spaces and provide convergence estimates. The results include an error estimate for nonlinear approximation by quasi-interpolation, results about compression in the space of continuous functions and a pointwise convergence estimate for approximands of low smoothness.
