A general method for constructing multidimensional molecular potential energy surfaces from ab initio calculations. T.-S. Ho and H. Rabitz J. Chem. Phys. 1996, 104, 2584-2597.
ARTICLE Discusses the general problem of constructing multi-dimensional potential energy surfaces from either gridded or scattered ab initio data. Demonstrates a method based on "reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces" (RKHS). Do not worry so much about the mathematics when you read this, look more for the definition of the problem and see what kinds of applications are being dealt with. Recognize for example that their most difficult case contains only 3 atoms (!) and this is far from anything useful for "real chemistry".
