N. Sivakumar et Jd. Ward, ON THE LEAST-SQUARES FIT BY RADIAL FUNCTIONS TO MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCATTERED DATA, Numerische Mathematik, 65(2), 1993, pp. 219-243
This paper investigates some aspects of discrete least squares approxi
mation by translates of certain classes of radial functions. Its speci
fic aims are (i) to provide conditions under which the associated leas
t squares matrix is invertible and (ii) to give upper bounds for the E
uclidean norms of the inverses of these matrices (when they exist).
