In this paper, we identify univariate prewavelets on spaces spanned by translates of multiquadric functions and other radial basis functions with nonequally spaced centers (or "knots"). Although the multiquadric function and its relations are our prime examples, the theory is sufficiently broad to admit prewavelets from other radial basis function spaces as well.

This note concerns density properties of the general multiquadric, (x + c2)k−1/2, where k is a fixed natural number. We establish that scattered translates of the general multiquadric are dense in C([a, b]), where a and b are finite. As a corollary, we show that scattered translated of the general multiquadric are dense in the function spaces L([a, b]), for 1 ≤ p <∞.

A generalised multiquadric radial basis function is a function of the form s(x) = ∑N i=1 diφ(|x − ti|), where φ(r) = ( r2 + τ2 )k/2 , x ∈ Rn, and k ∈ Z is odd. The direct evaluation of an N centre generalised multiquadric radial basis function at m points requires O(mN) flops, which is prohibitive when m and N are large. Similar considerations apparently rule out fitting an interpolating N cent...

This paper presents numerical solution of elliptic partial differential equations Poisson’s equation using a combination of logarithmic and multiquadric radial basis function networks. This method uses a special combination between logarithmic and multiquadric radial basis functions with a parameter r. Further, the condition number which arises in the process is discussed, and a comparison is m...

Abstract. Radial basis functions (RBFs) are a powerful tool for interpolating/approximating multidimensional scattered data. Notwithstanding, RBFs pose computational challenges, such as the efficient evaluation of an n-center RBF expansion at m points. A direct summation requires O(nm) operations. We present a new multilevel method whose cost is only O((n + m) ln(1/δ)), where δ is the desired a...

introduction studies about the health effects of long-term average exposure to outdoor air pollution have played an important role in the recent health impact assessments. exposure assessment for epidemiological studies of long-term exposure to ambient air pollution remains a difficult challenge because of substantial small-scale spatial variation. current approaches for assessing intra-urban ai...

In this article, we propose a simplified radial basis function (RBF) method with exterior fictitious sources for solving elliptic boundary value problems (BVPs). Three RBFs, including Gaussian, multiquadric (MQ), and inverse (IMQ) without the shape parameter, are adopted in study. With consideration of many outside domain, distance RBF is always greater than zero, such that can remove parameter...
