Spherical RBF interpolation employing particular geodesic metrics and trend functions
The paper is concerned with spherical radial basis function (SRBF) interpolation. We introduce particular SRBF interpolants employing several different geodesic metrics and a single trend function. Interpolation on a sphere is an important tool serving to processing data measured on the Earth's surface by satellites. Nevertheless, our model physical quantity is the magnetic susceptibility of rock measured in different directions. We construct a general SRBF formula and prove conditions sufficient...
