Abstract

This chapter gives a short, up-to-date survey of some recent developments in the research on radial basis functions. Among its other new achievements, we consider results on convergence rates of interpolation with radial basis functions, and also recent contributions on approximation on spheres and on computation of interpolants with Krylov space methods.
