Gaussian radial basis functions can be an accurate basis for multivariate interpolation. In practise, high accuracies are often achieved in the flat limit where the interpolation matrix becomes increasingly ill-conditioned. Stable evaluation algorithms have been proposed by Fornberg, Larsson & Flyer based on a Chebyshev expansion of the Gaussian basis and by Fasshauer & McCourt based on a Mercer expansion with Hermite polynomials. In this paper, we propose another stabilization algorithm based on Hermite polynomials but derived from the generating function of Hermite polynomials. The new expansion does not require a complicated choice of parameters and offers a simple extension to high-dimensional tensor grids as well as a generalization for anisotropic multivariate basis functions using the Hagedorn generating function.
