Abstract: In this paper we propose two fast localized radial basis function fitting algorithms for solving large-scale scattered data interpolation problems. For each given point in the given data set, a local influence domain containing a small number of nearest neighboring points is established and a global interpolation is performed within this restricted domain. A sparse matrix is formulated based on the global interpolation in these local influence domains. The proposed methods have achieved both low computational cost and minimal memory storage. In comparison with the compactly supported radial basis functions, the proposed fitting algorithms are highly accurate. The numerical examples have provided strong evidence that the two proposed algorithms are indeed highly efficient and accurate. In the two proposed algorithms, we have successfully solved a large-scale interpolation problem with 225,000 interpolation points in two dimensional space.
