For a fixed, continuous, periodic kernel K, an sk-spline is a function of the form sk(x)=c 0 + n i=1 c i K(x&x i ). In this paper we consider a generalization of the univariate sk-spline to the d-dimensional torus (d 2), and give almost optimal error estimates of the same order, in power scale, as best trigonometric approximation on Sobolev's classes in L q . An important component of our method is that the interpolation nodes are generated using number theoretic ideas.
