Convergence of general meshless Schwarz method using radial basis functions (Q2495813)

The authors provide the theoretical justification of general meshless Schwarz method using radial basis functions. Using this meshless method, one has to solve many small problems instead of one big ill-conditioned problem, and obtains the results with almost the same accuracy. The only premise one needs in the meshless method is that the resultant coefficient matrix of the system of algebraic equations obtained from the partial differential equation is positive definite, and which can usually be satisfied if one uses meshless Galerkin method or meshless Hermitian-Birkhoff's collocation method. Numerical experiments are carried out to verify the method.
