Diffusion Problems

The numerical solutions of the unsteady transient-convective diffusion problems are investigated by using multiquadric (MQ) and thin-plate spline (TPS) radial basis functions (RBFs) based on mesh-free collocation methods with global basis functions. The results of radial basis functions are compared with the mesh-dependent boundary element and finite difference methods as well as the analytical solution for high Péclet numbers. It is reported that for low Péclet numbers, MQ-RBF provides excellent agreement, while for high Péclet numbers, TPS-RBF is better than MQ-RBF.

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.

The radial basis functions meshfree method is a research method for thin plate problem which has gradually developed into a more mature meshfree method. It includes finite element, radial basis functions meshfree collocation method, etc. In this paper, we introduce the multilevel radial basis function collocation method for the fourth-order thin plate problem. We use nonsymmetric Kansa multilevel radial basis function collocation method to solve the fourth-order thin plate problem. Two numerical examples based on Wendland’s [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] functions are given to examine that the convergence of the multilevel radial basis function collocation method which is good for solving the fourth-order thin plate problem.

The paper deals with a div-curl approximation problem by weighted minimizing splines. The weighted minimizing splines are an extension of the well-known thin plate splines and are radial basis functions which allow the approximation or the interpolation of a scalar function from given scattered data. In this paper, we show that the theory of the weighted minimizing splines may also be used for the approximation or for the interpolation of a vector field controlled by the divergence and the curl of the vector field. Numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of this method.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show that the meshless method based on radial basis functions (RBFs) collocation method is powerful, suitable and simple for solving one and two dimensional time fractional telegraph equation. Design/methodology/approach – In this method the authors first approximate the time fractional derivatives of mentioned equation by two schemes of orders O(τ3−α) and O(τ2−α), 1/2<α<1, then the authors will use the Kansa approach to approximate the spatial derivatives. Findings – The results of numerical experiments are compared with analytical solution, revealing that the obtained numerical solutions have acceptance accuracy. Originality/value – The results show that the meshless method based on the RBFs and collocation approach is also suitable for the treatment of the time fractional telegraph equation.
