Abstract Path planning has been widely investigated by many researchers and engineers for its extensive applications in the real world. In this paper, a biharmonic radial basis potential function (BRBPF) representation is proposed to construct navigation fields in 2D maps with obstacles, and it therefore can guide and design a path joining given start and goal positions with obstacle avoidance. We construct BRBPF by solving a biharmonic equation associated with distance-related boundary conditions using radial basis functions (RBFs). In this way, invalid gradients calculated by finite difference methods in large size grids can be preventable. Furthermore, paths constructed by BRBPF are smoother than paths constructed by harmonic potential functions and other methods, and plenty of experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is valid and effective.

This paper proposes a new numerical method to solve the 1D time-dependent Schrödinger equations based on the finite difference scheme by means of multiquadrics (MQ) and inverse multiquadrics (IMQ) radial basis functions. The numerical examples are given to confirm the good accuracy of the proposed methods.

Radial Basis

In this work, we describe the radial basis functions for solving the time fractional partial differential equations defined by Caputo sense. These problems can be discretized in the time direction based on finite difference scheme and is continuously approximated by using the radial basis functions in the space direction which achieves the semi-discrete solution. Numerical results accuracy the efficiency of the presented method.
