Monomial Augmentation Guidelines for RBF-FD from Accuracy Versus Computational Time Perspective
Published in Journal of Scientific Computing, 2021, DOI .
Abstract
Local meshless methods using RBFs augmented with monomials have become increasingly popular, due to the fact that they can be used to solve PDEs on scattered node sets in a dimension-independent way, with the ability to easily control the order of the method, but at a greater cost to execution time. We analyze this ability on a Poisson problem with mixed boundary conditions in 1D, 2D and 3D, and reproduce theoretical convergence orders practically, also in a dimension-independent manner, as demonstrated with a solution of Poisson’s equation in an irregular 4D domain. The results are further combined with theoretical complexity analyses and with conforming execution time measurements, into a study of accuracy versus execution time trade-off for each dimension. Optimal regimes of order for given target accuracy ranges are extracted and presented, along with guidelines for generalization.

symbols have somehow been converted to fractions. For that reason, here a PDF from arxiv with corrected typo is provided.
