Polyharmonic splines on grids Z x aZ^n and their limits

Radial Basis Functions (RBF) have found a wide area of applications. We consider the case of polyharmonic RBF (called sometimes polyharmonic splines) where the data are on special grids of the form ℤ × aℤn having practical importance.

Sumario:Radial Basis Functions (RBF) have found a wide area of applications. We consider the case of polyharmonic RBF (called sometimes polyharmonic splines) where the data are on special grids of the form ℤ × aℤn having practical importance. The main purpose of the paper is to consider the behavior of the polyharmonic interpolation splines I a on such grids for the limiting process a → 0, a > 0. For a large class of data functions defined on ℝ × ℝn it turns out that there exists a limit function I. This limit function is shown to be a polyspline of order p on strips. By the theory of polysplines we know that the function I is smooth up to order 2 (p - 1) everywhere (in particular, they are smooth on the hyperplanes {j} × ℝn, which includes existence of the normal derivatives up to order 2 (p - 1)) while the RBF interpolants Ia are smooth only up to the order 2p - n - 1. The last fact has important consequences for the data smoothing practice. © 2005 American Mathematical Society.
