Interpolation with reflection invariant positive definite functions
نویسنده
چکیده
Concepts of abstract harmonic analysis can be used to provide a unifying framework for basis function methods, like radial basis functions in Euclidean spaces or zonal basis functions on the sphere. To illustrate how these concepts can be applied reflection invariant functions are considered. A specialization of the BochnerGodement Theorem leads to a characterization of suitable basis functions. §

Strictly positive definite reflection invariant functions
Strictly positive definite functions are used as basis functions for approximation methods in various contexts. Using a group theoretic interpretation of Bochner’s Theorem we give a sufficient condition for strictly positive definite functions on a semi-direct product which are invariant under the natural action of a given subgroup. As an application strictly positive definite, reflection invar...
متن کاملInterpolation on Symmetric Spaces Via the Generalized Polar Decomposition
We construct interpolation operators for functions taking values in a symmetric space—a smooth manifold with an inversion symmetry about every point. Key to our construction is the observation that every symmetric space can be realized as a homogeneous space whose cosets have canonical representatives by virtue of the generalized polar decomposition—a generalization of the well-known factorizat...
متن کاملStability results for approximation by positive definite functions on compact groups
We consider interpolation methods defined by positive definite functions on a compact group. Estimates for the smallest and largest eigenvalue of the interpolation matrix in terms of the localization of the positive definite function on G are presented and we provide a method to get positive definite functions explicitly on compact semisimple Lie groups. Finally we apply our results to construc...
متن کاملStrictly Positive Definite Functions on Spheres
In this paper we study strictly positive definite functions on the unit sphere of the m-dimensional Euclidean space. Such functions can be used for solving a scattered data interpolation problem on spheres. Since positive definite functions on the sphere were already characterized by Schoenberg some fifty years ago, the issue here is to determine what kind of positive definite functions are act...
