While it was noted by R. Hardy and proved in a famous paper by C. A. Micchelli that radial basis function interpolants s(x) = ∑ λjφ(‖x − xj‖) exist uniquely for the multiquadric radial function φ(r) = √ r2 + c2 as soon as the (at least two) centres are pairwise distinct, the error bounds for this interpolation problem always demanded an added constant to s. By using Pontryagin native spaces, we...

This paper formulates a simple explicit local version of the classical meshless radial basis function collocation (Kansa) method. The formulation copes with the diffusion equation, applicable in the solution of a broad spectrum of scientific and engineering problems. The method is structured on multiquadrics radial basis functions. Instead of global, the collocation is made locally over a set o...

The collocation method with multiquadrics basis functions and a first-order shear deformation theory are used to find natural flexural frequencies of a square plate with various material symmetries and subjected to different boundary conditions. Computed results are found to agree well with the literature values obtained by the solution of the three-dimensional elasticity equations using the fi...

Meshless solution to differential equations using radial basis functions (RBF) is an alternative grid based methods commonly used. Since the meshless method does not need underlying connectivity in form of control volumes or elements, issues such as skewness that adversely impact accuracy are eliminated. Gaussian, Multiquadrics and inverse some most popular RBFs used for solutions fluid flow he...

Выполнен линейный расчет напряженно-деформированного состояния тонких пластин численным методом, базирующемся на использовании мультиквадратических радиальных базисных функций. Показано, что данный метод оказывается весьма гибким при расчетах объектов со сложной геометрией, поскольку не требует сеточного разбиения и нечувст­ вителен к их пространственным координатам. Полученные численные резуль...

Approximations from the L 2 -closure S of the nite linear combinations of the shifts of a radial basis function are considered, and a thorough analysis of the least-squares approximation orders from such spaces is provided. The results apply to polyharmonic splines, multiquadrics, the Gaussian kernel and other functions, and include the derivation of spectral orders. For stationary re nements i...

We present a new temporal approximation scheme for the boundary integral formulation of time-dependent scattering problems which can be combined with either collocation or Galerkin approximation in space. It uses the backward-in-time framework introduced in [P. J. Davies and D. B. Duncan, Convolution Spline Approximations of Volterra Integral Equations, www.mathstat. strath.ac.uk/research/repor...

Interpolation by translates of suitable radial basis functions is an important approach towards solving the scattered data problem. However, for a large class of smooth basis functions (including multiquadrics f(x)=(|x|+l), m > d/2, 2m−d ̈ 2Z), the existing theories guarantee the interpolant to approximate well only for a very small class of very smooth approximands. The approximands f need to b...
