Title
Worst-case optimal approximation with increasingly flat Gaussian kernels.
Abstract
We study worst-case optimal approximation of positive linear functionals in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs) induced by increasingly flat Gaussian kernels. This provides a new perspective and some generalisations to the problem of interpolation with increasingly flat radial basis functions. When the evaluation points are fixed and unisolvent, we show that the worst-case optimal method converges to a polynomial method. In an additional one-dimensional extension, we allow also the points to be selected optimally and show that in this case convergence is to the unique Gaussian-type method that achieves the maximal polynomial degree of exactness. The proofs are based on an explicit characterisation of the Gaussian RKHS in terms of exponentially damped polynomials.
