Description: It is necessary to estimate parameters by approximation and interpolation in many areas-from computer graphics to inverse methods to signal processing. Radial basis functions are modern, powerful tools which are being used more widely as the limitations of other methods become apparent. Martin Buhmann provides a complete analysis of radial basic functions from the theoretical and practical implementation viewpoints. He also includes a comprehensive bibliography.
Review Quotes: "A must read for anyone making direct use of this tool, and a must browse for anyone interested in keeping up with the state of the art in multivariate approximation theory in general." Computing Reviews
