Radial activation functions: rm weasel phrasing "extremely efficient"
periodic and quadratic
Line 44:
* [[Polyharmonic spline]]s
where <math>\mathbf c</math> is the vector representing the function ''center'' and <math>a</math> and <math>\sigma</math> are parameters affecting the spread of the radius.

Periodic functions can serve as activation functions. Usually the [[Sine wave|sinusoid]] is used, as any periodic function is decomposable into sinusoids by the [[Fourier transform]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Sitzmann |first=Vincent |last2=Martel |first2=Julien |last3=Bergman |first3=Alexander |last4=Lindell |first4=David |last5=Wetzstein |first5=Gordon |date=2020 |title=Implicit Neural Representations with Periodic Activation Functions |url=https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2020/hash/53c04118df112c13a8c34b38343b9c10-Abstract.html |journal=Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems |publisher=Curran Associates, Inc. |volume=33 |pages=7462–7473}}</ref>
