Abstract

In this article we study the convergence behaviour of least squares approximations of various types by radial basis functions, i.e. least squares approximations from spaces spanned by radially symmetric functions φ (‖· −xj‖). Here the xj are given ‘centres’ in ℝn which we assume to lie on a grid. The inner products with respect to which the least squares problem is considered are discrete and Sobolev, i.e. may involve derivative information. Favourable estimates for the least squares errors are found that are shown to decrease as powers of the gridspacing. The work on discrete least squares approximations also gives rise to the construction of prewavelets from radial function spaces with respect to a discrete Sobolev inner product, which are discussed in the paper as well.
