contents We present a unified interpolation scheme that combines compactly-supported positive-definite kernels and multivariate polynomials. This unified framework generalizes interpolation with compactly-supported kernels and also classical polynomial least squares approximation. To facilitate the efficient use of this unified interpolation scheme, we present specialized numerical linear algebra procedures that leverage standard matrix factorizations. These procedures allow for efficient computation and storage of the unified interpolant. We also present a modification to the numerical linear algebra that allows us to generalize the application of the unified framework to target functions on manifolds with and without boundary. Our numerical experiments on both Euclidean domains and manifolds indicate that the unified interpolant is superior to polynomial least squares for the interpolation of target functions in settings with boundaries.
