Haussmann, Werner; Jetter, Kurt; Reimer, Manfred; Stöckler, Joachim

This volume contains a selection of eighteen peer-reviewed articles that were presented at the 5th International Conference on Multivariate Approximation, held in Witten-Bommerholz in September 2002. The contributions cover recent developments of constructive approximation on manifolds, approximation by splines and kernels, subdivision techniques and wavelet methods.
The main topics are:
- applications of multivariate approximation in finance
- approximation and stable reconstruction of images, data reduction
- multivariate splines for Lagrange interpolation and quasi-interpolation
- radial basis functions
- spherical point sets
- refinable function vectors and non-stationary subdivision
- applications of adaptive wavelet methods
- blending functions and cubature formulae
- singularities of harmonic functions
The book provides an overview of state-of-the-art developments in a highly relevant field of applied mathematics, with many links to computerscience and geophysics.
