Abstract

Based on our previously study, the accuracy of derivatives of interpolating functions are usually very poor near the boundary of domain when Compactly Supported Radial Basis Functions (CSRBFs) are used, so that it could result in significant error in solving partial differential equations with Neumann boundary conditions. To overcome this drawback, the Consistent Compactly Supported Radial Basis Functions (CCSRBFs) are developed, which satisfy the predetermined consistency conditions. Meshless method based on point collocation with CCSRBFs is developed for solving partial differential equations. Numerical studies show that the proposed method improves the accuracy of approximation significantly.
