%'tps_coeff': calculate the thin plate spline (tps) coefficients
% (ref fasshauer@iit.edu MATH 590 ? Chapter 19 32)
% this interpolation/smoothing minimises a linear combination of the squared curvature
%  and squared difference form the initial data. 
% This function calculates the weight coefficients U_tps of the N sites where
% data are known. Interpolated data are then obtained as the matrix product
% EM*U_tps where the matrix EM is obtained by the function tps_eval.
% The spatial derivatives are obtained as EMDX*U_tps and EMDY*U_tps, where
% EMDX and EMDY are obtained from the function tps_eval_dxy.
% for big data sets, a splitting in subdomains is needed, see functions
% set_subdomains and tps_coeff_field.

% OUPUT:
% U_smooth: values of the quantity U at the N centres after smoothing
% U_tps: tps weights of the centres and columns of the linear

%INPUT:
% ctrs: NxNbDim matrix  representing the positions of the N centers, sources of the tps (NbDim=space dimension)
% U: Nx1 column vector representing the values of the considered scalar measured at the centres ctrs
% Smoothing: smoothing parameter: the result is smoother for larger Smoothing.
