There is a fairly good description on how the radial basis functions work in 
multidimensional spaces is in 'Neurocomputing' by Robert Hecht-Nielsen.
It was published by Addison-Wesley in 1990.

John Moody terms his radial basis functions 'Local Receptive Fields'. I
have seen some of his work  at the ICJNN's before.

I also found Nestor Corp's algorithm for Restricted Coulomb Energy fields in
'DARPA Neural Network Study', ISBN 0-916159-17-5.


I hope this helps,
