Abstract

The radial basis function interpolation is an effective method for approximation on scattered data. However, this interpolation method suffers from the contradiction between the accuracy and the numerical stability. With considering the distribution of the interpolation points, a bounded random shape variation scheme for the radial basis function is developed to circumvent the problem of numerical stability. In this scheme, the shape variation is bounded by the value that is determined by the maximum distance and the minimal distance which are applied to describe the average density of the interpolation centers. Within this bound, the shape of the MQ is modified through a random scheme. With applying this bounded randomly variable shape scheme, the accuracy and the stability of the MQ interpolation are balanced. Comparisons on the accuracy and the condition number of the interpolation matrix between the constant shaped MQ interpolation and this bounded randomly variable shaped MQ interpolation have been made to verify the conclusion. Furthermore, this scheme is integrated in the dual reciprocity boundary element method in the analysis of three dimensional elastic problems. Results of the numerical examples demonstrated that the developed scheme improved the accuracy of the dual reciprocity boundary element method stably.
