A New Collocation Scheme Using Non-polynomial Basis Functions by Zhang, Chao, Liu, Wenjie, Wang, Li-Lian

“…With a direct inverting the operator, the basis can be pre-computed in a fast and stable manner. This leads to new collocation schemes for general second-order boundary value problems with (i) the matrix corresponding to the operator LλLλ being identity; (ii) well-conditioned linear systems and (iii) exact imposition of various boundary conditions. …”

Efficient additive kernels via explicit feature maps by Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A

“…In particular, we: 1) provide explicit feature maps for all additive homogeneous kernels along with closed form expression for all common kernels; 2) derive corresponding approximate finite-dimensional feature maps based on a spectral analysis; and 3) quantify the error of the approximation, showing that the error is independent of the data dimension and decays exponentially fast with the approximation order for selected kernels such as χ2. …”
