Abstract We present a new method based upon the paper of Volokh and Vilney (2000) that produces highly accurate and stable solutions to very ill-conditioned multiquadric (MQ) radial basis function (RBF) asymmetric collocation methods for partial differential equations (PDEs). We demonstrate that the modified Volokh-Vilney algorithm that we name the improved truncated singular value decomposition (IT-SVD) produces highly accurate and stable numerical solutions for large values of a constant MQ shape parameter, c, that exceeds the critical value of c based upon Gaussian elimination.

Abstract This lecture presents an overview of the Integral Collocation formulation for numerically solving partial differential equations (PDEs). However, due to space limitation, the paper only describes the latest development, namely schemes based only on one-dimensional (1D) integrated interpolation even in multi-dimensional problems. The proposed technique is examined with Chebyshev polynomials and radial basis functions (RBFs). The latter can be used in both regular and irregular domains. For both basis functions, the accuracy and convergence rates of the new technique are better than those of the differential formulation. More >

Abstract In this paper we present a mesh-free approach to numerically solving a class of second order time dependent partial differential equations which include equations of parabolic, hyperbolic and parabolic-hyperbolic types. For numerical purposes, a variety of transformations is used to convert these equations to standard reaction-diffusion and wave equation forms. To solve initial boundary value problems for these equations, the time dependence is removed by either the Laplace or the Laguerre transform or time differencing, which converts the problem into one of solving a sequence of boundary value problems for inhomogeneous modified Helmholtz equations.
