A radial basis function method for fractional Darboux problems

Abstract

In this paper, a radial basis function (RBF) collocation known as Kansa’s method has been extended to solve fractional Darboux problems. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. Integration of radial functions that appears due to fractional derivatives have been dealt using Gauss–Jacobi quadrature method. The equation has been linearized using successive approximation. A few test problems have been solved and compared with available solutions. The effect of RBF shape parameter on accuracy and convergence has also been discussed.
