Abstract This paper formulates a local Radial Basis Functions (LRBFs) collocation method for the numerical solution of the non-linear dispersive and dissipative KdV-Burger's (KdVB) equation. This equation models physical problems, such as irrotational incompressible flow, considering a shallow layer of an inviscid fluid moving under the influence of gravity and the motion of solitary waves. The local type of approximations used, leads to sparse algebraic systems that can be solved efficiently. The Inverse Multiquadrics (IMQ), Gaussian (GA) and Multiquadrics (MQ) Radial Basis Functions (RBF) interpolation are employed for the construction of the shape functions. Accuracy of More >
