A Reduced Radial Basis Function Method for Partial Differential Equations on irregular domains

Numerical Analysis 2014-10-09 v1

Abstract

We propose and test the first Reduced Radial Basis Function Method (R2^2BFM) for solving parametric partial differential equations on irregular domains. The two major ingredients are a stable Radial Basis Function (RBF) solver that has an optimized set of centers chosen through a reduced-basis-type greedy algorithm, and a collocation-based model reduction approach that systematically generates a reduced-order approximation whose dimension is orders of magnitude smaller than the total number of RBF centers. The resulting algorithm is efficient and accurate as demonstrated through two- and three-dimensional test problems.
