“…• Growth functions ρ q,D (z, X, 1, q) and ρ q,D (z, X, 2, q) that appear in the estimates (29), (43), (44) can be computed as ρ q,D (z, X, 1, q) = w 1,q 1,q and ρ q,D (z, X, 2, q) = w 2,q 2,q , respectively, and used to assess the accuracy of numerical differentiation on a given set X, which may be used to improve the selection of sets of influence in the generalized finite difference methods. The ability to select good sets of influence is essential for the design of competitive adaptive algorithms [21]. Moreover, it may be possible to generate discretization nodes for a given domain Ω in such a way that the local growth functions for a given degree are small on these nodes, which guarantees small consistency error.…”
