Review text

This paper discusses a variety of local interpolation methods to multivariate scattered data. The interpolants are functions from \({\mathbb{R}}^ 2\to {\mathbb{R}}^ 1\) and \({\mathbb{R}}^ 3\to {\mathbb{R}}^ 1\), and they are defined over a collection of triangles or tetrahedra, respectively. The surface schemes that are discussed are a) Barnhill- Birkhoff-Gordon scheme, and b) a radial Nielson scheme. These surface schemes are also discretized. Apart from this, a detailed treatment is given to the partition of the domain into triangles, respectively tetrahedra as well as to the preprocessing step of gradient estimation.
