Hermite interpolation with radial basis functions on spheres

We show how conditionally negative definite functions on spheres coupled with strictly completely monotone functions (or functions whose derivative is strictly completely monotone) can be used for Hermite interpolation. The classes of functions thus obtained have the advantage over the strictly positive definite functions studied in [17] that closed form representations (as opposed to series expansions) are readily available. Furthermore, our functions include the historically significant spherical multiquadrics. Numerical results are also presented. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Locality properties of radial basis function expansion coefficients for equispaced interpolation

Natasha Flyer ^{Many types of radial basis functions (RBFs) are global in termsof having large magnitude across the entire domain. Yet, incontrast, e.g. with expansions in orthogonal polynomials, RBFexpansions exhibit a strong property of locality with regardto their coefficients. That is, changing a single data valuemainly affects the coefficients of the RBFs which are centredin the immediate vicinity of that data location. This localityfeature can be advantageous in the development of fast and well-conditionediterative RBF algorithms. With this motivation, we employ hereboth analytical and numerical techniques to derive the decayrates of the expansion coefficients for cardinal data, in both1D and 2D. Furthermore, we explore how these rates vary in theinteresting high-accuracy limit of increasingly flat RBFs.}     

Barbilian’s metrization procedure in the plane yields either Riemannian or Lagrange generalized metrics

In the present paper we answer two questions raised by Barbilian in 1960. First, we study how far can the hypothesis of Barbilian’s metrization procedure can be relaxed. Then, we prove that Barbilian’s metrization procedure in the plane generates either Riemannian metrics or Lagrance generalized metrics not reducible to Finslerian or Langrangian metrics.

Improved Faddeev-Jackiw quantization of the electromagnetic field and Lagrange multiplier fields

We use the improved Faddeev-Jackiw quantization method to quantize the electromagnetic field and its Lagrange multiplier fields. The method's comparison with the usual Faddeev-Jackiw method and the Dirac method is given. We show that this method is equivalent to the Dirac method and also retains all the merits of the usual Faddeev-Jackiw method. Moreover, it is simpler than the usual one if one needs to obtain new secondary constraints. Therefore, the improved Faddeev-Jackiw method is essential. Meanwhile, we find the new meaning of the Lagrange multipliers and explain the Faddeev-Jackiw generalized brackets concerning the Lagrange multipliers.     

Bounded sets of Lagrange multipliers for vector optimization problems in infinite dimension

The aim of this paper is to point out some sufficient constraint qualification conditions ensuring the boundedness of a set of Lagrange multipliers for vectorial optimization problems in infinite dimension. In some (smooth) cases these conditions turn out to be necessary for the existence of multipliers as well.     

Approximation of finite-section equations by piecewise constant functions

The problem is studied of reducing the amount of discrete information required for achieving a prescribed accuracy of solving Fredholm integral equations of the first kind on a half-line. The equations are solved by the finite-section method combined with piecewise constant interpolation of the kernel and the right-hand side at uniform grid points. The approximating properties of the discretization schemes are examined, and the corresponding computational costs are analyzed.     

Classification of sets satisfying the geometric characterization

The geometric characterization identifies the sets of nodes such that the Lagrange polynomials are products of factors of first degree. We offer a detailed classification of all known sets satisfying the geometric characterization in the plane. The defect, which takes into account the number of lines containing more nodes than the degree, plays a fundamental role in this classification.

Abstract Hardy-Sobolev spaces and interpolation

The purpose of this work is to describe an abstract theory of Hardy-Sobolev spaces on doubling Riemannian manifolds via an atomic decomposition. We study the real interpolation of these spaces with Sobolev spaces and finally give applications to Riesz inequalities.
