Abstract The Indirect Radial Basis Function Network (IRBFN) method has been reported to be a highly accurate tool for approximating multivariate functions and solving elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs). The present method is a truly meshless method as defined in [\citet *{Atluri_Shen_02a}]. A recent development of the method for solving transient problems is presented in this paper. Two numerical schemes combining the IRBFN method with different time integration techniques based on either fully or semi-discrete framework are proposed. The two schemes are implemented making use of Hardy's multiquadrics (MQ) and Duchon's thin plate splines (TPS). Some More >
