Smoothing by, and eccentric smoothing of, compactly supported RBFs

Thomas Hangelbroek, Christian Rieger

We consider compactly supported RBFs having algebraically decaying Fourier transforms. Here we focus especially on generalized Wendland RBFs and their modification by making them s…

Generalized local polynomial reproductions

Thomas Hangelbroek, Christian Rieger, Grady B. Wright

We present a general framework, treating Lipschitz domains in Riemannian manifolds, that provides conditions guaranteeing the existence of norming sets and generalized local polyno…

Spectral stability and perturbation results for kernel differentiation matrices on the sphere

Thomas Hangelbroek, Christian Rieger, Grady Wright

We investigate the spectrum of differentiation matrices for certain operators on the sphere that are generated from collocation at a set of scattered points with positive defin…

Kernel Multi-Grid on Manifolds

Thomas Hangelbroek, Christian Rieger

Kernel methods for solving partial differential equations on surfaces have the advantage that those methods work intrinsically on the surface and yield high approximation rates if…

Extending error bounds for radial basis function interpolation to measuring the error in higher order Sobolev norms

Thomas Hangelbroek, Christian Rieger

Radial basis functions (RBFs) are prominent examples for reproducing kernels with associated reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs). The convergence theory for the kernel-based…

An inverse theorem for compact Lipschitz regions in using localized kernel bases

Thomas Hangelbroek, Francis J. Narcowich, Christian Rieger +1

While inverse estimates in the context of radial basis function approximation on boundary-free domains have been known for at least ten years, such theorems for the more important…
