A review of radial basis function with applications explored

Abstract

Partial differential equations are a vital component of the study of mathematical models in science and engineering. There are various tools and techniques developed by the researchers to solve the differential equations. The radial basis functions have proven to be an efficient basis function for approximating the solutions to ordinary and partial differential equations. There are different types of radial basis function methods that have been developed by the researchers to solve various well known differential equation. It has been developed for approximation of the solution with various approaches that lead to the development of hybrid methods. Radial basis function methods are widely used in numerical analysis and statistics because of their ability to deal with meshless domain. In this work, the different radial basis function approaches were investigated along with the focus on the strategies being addressed to find the shape parameter value. The mathematical formulations of the various radial basis function methods are discussed along with the available shape parameters to get the optimal value of the numerical solutions. The present work will lay a foundation to understand the development of the radial basis functions that could lead to a play an important role in development of method thereafter.
