Approximation in \(L_p (\mathbb{R}^d)\) from spaces spanned by the perturbed integer translates of a radial function (Q5929846)

Let \(C(\mathbb{R}^d)\) be the collection of all continuous functions \(f:\mathbb{R}^d\to\mathbb{C}\) equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on compact sets. Given \(\phi\in C(\mathbb{R}^d)\), \(\Xi\subset\mathbb{R}^d\) and \(h>0\), the author puts \[ S^h(\phi;\Xi) := \{s(\cdot/h): s\in S(\phi;\Xi)\}, \] where \(S(\phi;\Xi)\) denotes the closure in \(C(\mathbb{R}^d)\) of the set \(\text{span}\{\phi(\cdot -\xi):\xi\in\Xi\}\). The main result of the paper reveals conditions which ensure that a ladder \((S^h(\phi_h;\Xi))_h\) assigned to a family \((\phi_h)_{h\in(0,h_0]}\) of functions in \(C(\mathbb{R}^d)\) provides \(L_p\)-approximation of order \(\gamma\) for all \(1\leq p\leq \infty\) whenever \(\Xi\) is a sufficiently small perturbation of \(\mathbb{Z}^d\).
