This is a survey of techniques for the interpolation of scattered data in three or more independent variables. It covers schemes that can be used for any number of variables as well as schemes speci cally designed for three variables. Emphasis is on breadth rather than depth, but there are explicit illustrations of di erent techniques used in the solution of multivariate interpolation problems.

In this paper, an adaptive edge enhancement technique is proposed for two-dimensional (2-D) image scaling application. The anticipated image scaling algorithm consists of an edge detector, bilinear interpolation and sobel filter. The bilinear interpolation defines the intensity of the scaled pixel with the weighted average of the four nearest neighboring pixels, interpolated images become smoot...

The present paper is devoted to the development of a kind of spectral meshless radial point interpolation (SMRPI) technique in order to obtain a reliable approximate solution for buckling of nano-actuators subject to different nonlinear forces. To end this aim, a general type of the governing equation for nano-actuators, containing integro-differential terms and nonlinear forces is considered. ...

The mean dynamic topography of the surface of the North Atlantic is estimated using an inverse model of the ocean circulation constrained by hydrographic and altimetric observations. In the North Atlantic, altimetric observations have no signi®cant impact on the topography estimate because of the limited precision of available geoid height models. They have a signi®cant impact, however, when un...

A production experiment investigated the tonal shape of Finnish finite verbs in transitive sentences without narrow focus. Traditional descriptions of Finnish stating that nonfocused finite verbs do not receive accents were only partly supported. Verbs were found to have a consistently smaller pitch range than words in other word classes, but their pitch contours were neither flat nor explainab...
