In this paper we analyse a hybrid approximation of functions on the sphere S2 R3 by radial basis functions combined with polynomials, with the radial basis functions assumed to be...
We describe the Fourier Basis, a linear value function approximation scheme based on the Fourier Series. We empirically evaluate its properties, and demonstrate that it performs w...
Abstract. Radial basis function (RBF) approximation is an extremely powerful tool for representing smooth functions in non-trivial geometries, since the method is meshfree and can ...
Abstract. We present a new derivative-free algorithm, ORBIT, for unconstrained local optimization of computationally expensive functions. A trust-region framework using interpolati...

We suggest a local hybrid approximation scheme based on polynomials and radial basis functions, and use it to modify the scattered data fitting algorithm of [7]. Similar to that a...
