Local meshless methods obtain higher convergence rates when RBF approximations are augmented with monomials up to a given order. If the order of the approximation method is spatially variable, the numerical solution is said to be p-refined.…

A "blendstring" is a piecewise polynomial interpolant with high-degree two-point Hermite interpolational polynomials on each piece, analogous to a cubic spline. Blendstrings are smoother and can be more accurate than cubic splines, and can…
