Highly localized RBF Lagrange functions for finite difference methods on spheres

From MaRDI portal





The authors study how rapidly decaying RBF Lagrange functions on the sphere can be used to create a numerically feasible, stable finite difference method based on radial basis functions (an RBF-FD-like method) and the application to certain PDE. The RBF-FD method and its variants are modifications of the classical finite difference method suitable for working with unstructured point sets. The authors consider a time-independent partial differential equation on a manifold without boundary (such as the sphere \(\mathbb{S}^2\)), \(\mathscr Lu = f\). The PDE is replaced by a linear system \(\mathbf Mu = y\) which can then be solved for a discrete solution. The aim of this paper is to give conditions on the operator \(\mathscr L\) which guarantee stable invertibility of \(\mathbf M\), and provide satisfying convergence rates.
