Properties of Gaussian radial basis functions in the dual reciprocity boundary element method (Q1312133)

The dual reciprocity boundary element approach allows for inhomogeneous partial differential equations (PDE) to be treated only as boundary value problems upon discretization. The key factor in this approach is the adoption of a simple particular solution to the inhomogeneous PDE which is approximated over the domain. This interesting paper addresses this subject and provides important convergence demonstrations for Gaussian radial basis function approximations, including error bound estimations.
