We introduce an adaptive scattered data fitting scheme as extension of local least squares approximations to hierarchical spline spaces. To efficiently deal with non-trivial data configurations, the local solutions are described in terms of (variable degree) polynomial approximations according not only to the number of data points locally available, but also to the smallest singular value of th...

In this paper, the collocation method is performed with quintic B-spline functions on a uniform mesh to obtain the numerical solutions of Fisher’s equation. Crank-Nicolson method is used for time discretization. Von Neumann stability analysis shows that the given method is conditionally stable. In order to observe the effects of reaction and diffusion, four test problems related to pulse distur...

In the work of solving a uniformly elliptic differential equations Au := − u+ a1ux + a2uy + a0u = f in the unit square with boundary conditions by the C1-cubic spline collocation method, one may need to investigate efficient preconditioning techniques. For this purpose, using the generalized field of values argument, we show the uniform bounds of the eigenvalues of the preconditioned matrix whe...

We present an accurate, efficient numerical analysis for vector modes of dielectric optical waveguide structures with an arbitrary refractive index profile using a quadratic spline collocation method (QSCM). The unknown weights of the polynomials are determined by forcing the errors at the collocation points to be zero. Consequently, the original second order differential equation is converted ...

In the present work, the numerical solution of two-dimensional variable-order fractional cable (VOFC) equation using meshless collocation methods with thin plate spline radial basis functions is considered. In the proposed methods, we first use two schemes of order O(τ2) for the time derivatives and then meshless approach is applied to the space component. Numerical results obtained ...
