## The chebfun system

Chebfun (www.chebfun.org) is an open-source software system for numerical computing with functions. The mathematical basis of Chebfun is piecewise polynomial interpolation implemented with what we call “Chebyshev technology”. Chebfun has extensive capabilities for dealing with linear and nonlinear differential and integral operators, and it also includes continuous analogues of linear algebra notions like QR and singular value decomposition. The Chebfun2 extension works with functions of two variables defined on a rectangle in the xy-plane.

I was one of the main developers/authors of Chebfun versions 2 and 3.

## Infinitely Smooth Compactly Supported RBFs

A Matlab file that approximates infinitely smooth compactly supported and positive definite kernels in dimensions 1,2, and 3 is available here: CinfCS.m. Please notice that Chebfun is required to used this code: www.chebfun.org.
