Differential quadrature method for space-fractional diffusion equations on 2D irregular domains
In mathematical physics, the space-fractional diffusion equations are of
particular interest in the studies of physical phenomena modelled by L\'{e}vy
processes, which are sometimes called super-diffusion equations. In this
article, we develop the differential quadrature (DQ) methods for solving the 2D
space-fractional diffusion equations on irregular domains. The methods in
presence reduce the original equation into a set of ordinary differential
equations (ODEs) by introducing valid DQ formulations to fractional directional
derivatives based on the functional values at scattered nodal points on problem
domain. The required weighted coefficients are calculated by using radial basis
functions (RBFs) as trial functions, and the resultant ODEs are discretized by
the Crank-Nicolson scheme. The main advantages of our methods lie in their
flexibility and applicability to arbitrary domains. A series of illustrated
examples are finally provided to support these points.Comment: 25 pages, 25 figures, 7 table
A Meshless Method Based on the Fundamental Solution and Radial Basis Function for Solving an Inverse Heat Conduction Problem
We propose a new meshless method to solve a backward inverse heat conduction problem. The numerical scheme, based on the fundamental solution of the heat equation and radial basis functions (RBFs), is used to obtain a numerical solution. Since the coefficients matrix is ill-conditioned, the Tikhonov regularization (TR) method is employed to solve the resulted system of linear equations. Also, the generalized cross-validation (GCV) criterion is applied to choose a regularization parameter. A test problem demonstrates the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of the proposed method
