A New Strategy for Scattered Data Approximation Using Radial Basis Functions Respecting Points of Inflection

The approximation of scattered data is known technique in computer science. We propose a new strategy for the placement of radial basis functions respecting points of inflection. The placement of radial basis functions has a great impact on the approximation quality. Due to this fact we propose a new strategy for the placement of radial basis functions with respect to the properties of approximated function, including the extreme and the inflection points. Our experimental results proved high quality of the proposed approach and high quality of the final approximation.
