Abstract

In this work, we are concerned with radial basis function-generated finite difference (RBF-FD) approximations. Numerical error estimates are presented for stabilized flat Gaussians (RBF(SGA)-FD) and polyharmonic splines with supplementary polynomials (RBF(PHS)-FD) using some analytical solutions of the Poisson equation in a square domain. Both structured and unstructured point clouds are employed for evaluating the influence of cloud refinement, size of local supports, and maximal permissible degree of the polynomials in RBF(PHS)-FD. High order of accuracy was attained with both RBF(SGA)-FD and RBF(PHS)-FD especially for unstructured clouds. Absolute errors in the first and second derivatives were also estimated at all points of the domain using one of the analytical solutions. For RBF(SGA)-FD, this test showed the occurrence of improprieties of some decentered supports localized on boundary neighborhoods. This phenomenon was not observed with RBF(PHS)-FD. (AU)
