Definition
A radial basis function (RBF) is a function of distance from the
origin. They are frequently used to build function
approximations (hence, basis function). Some commonly used
RBFs with global support are the following:

Interpolation
We seek to interpolate the displacements of discrete boundary
nodes to the interior of the domain using the following:
s(x) =
N
X
i (ri ) + h(x)
i=1
h(x) = 1 + 2 x + 3 y + 4 z
ri = ||x xi ||
x = (x y z)T
