The method uses a Poisson disk sampling-type technique for coarsening the point clouds and new meshfree restriction/interpolation operators based on polyharmonic splines for transferring information between the coarsened point clouds for solving linear systems that arise from discretizing elliptic PDEs on surfaces represented by point clouds.

It is proved that the RBF method is Lax-stable for problems on the circle when the collocation points are equispaced and the transport speed is constant, and it is proposed that the least-squares method can substantially improve stability without any increase to computational cost and with only a minor cost to accuracy.

It is shown that the RBF representation has advantages for mesh simplification and remeshing applications, and a greedy algorithm in the fitting process reduces the number of RBF centers required to represent a surface and results in significant compression and further computational advantages.
