This book is the first to be devoted to the theory and applications
of spherical (radial) basis functions (SBFs), which is rapidly
emerging as one of the most promising techniques for solving
problems where approximations are needed on the surface of a
sphere. The aim of the book is to provide enough theoretical and
practical details for the reader to be able to implement the SBF
methods to solve real world problems. The authors stress the close
connection between the theory of SBFs and that of the more
well-known family of radial basis functions (RBFs), which are
well-established tools for solving approximation theory problems on
more general domains. The unique solvability of the SBF
interpolation method for data fitting problems is established and
an in-depth investigation of its accuracy is provided. Two chapters
are devoted to partial differential equations (PDEs). One deals
with the practical implementation of an SBF-based solution to an
elliptic PDE and another which describes an SBF approach for
solving a parabolic time-dependent PDE, complete with error
analysis. The theory developed is illuminated with numerical
experiments throughout. Spherical Radial Basis Functions, Theory
and Applications will be of interest to graduate students and
researchers in mathematics and related fields such as the
geophysical sciences and statistics.
