Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, meshless methods have attracted the attention from many scientists due to their efficiency and accuracy. In numerical Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) this kind of methods is competing with Finite Element Method (FEM), Finite-Difference Methods (FDM), Finite Volume Method (FVM), and Boundary Element Method (BEM). The fast growing amount of relevant papers shows that meshless methods apply to many scientific fields very well. 

This Special Issue aims at promoting the current meshless methods both in theory and practice. Consequently, both theoretical and experimental works are welcome.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following: 

  • Radial Basis Functions(RBF);
  • Collocation Method;
  • Numerical Partial Differential Equations;
  • Approximation Theory;
  • Mathematical Modelling. 

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

This work deals with a semilinear system of parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) on an unbounded domain, related to environmental pollution modeling. Although we study a one-dimensional sub-model of a vertical advection–diffusion, the results can be extended in each direction for any number of spatial dimensions and different boundary conditions. The transformation of the independent variable is applied to convert the nonlinear problem into a finite interval, which can be selected in advance. We investigate the positivity of the solution of the new, degenerated parabolic system with a non-standard nonlinear right-hand side. Then, we design a fitted finite volume difference discretization in space and prove the non-negativity of the solution. The full discretization is obtained by implicit–explicit time stepping, taking into account the sign of the coefficients in the nonlinear term so as to preserve the non-negativity of the numerical solution and to avoid the iteration process. The method is realized on adaptive graded spatial meshes to attain second-order of accuracy in space. Some results from computations are presented. Full article

In this work, we consider Cauchy-type problems for Laplace’s equation with a dynamical boundary condition on a part of the domain boundary. We construct a discrete-in-time, meshless method for solving two inverse problems for recovering the space–time-dependent source and boundary functions in dynamical and Dirichlet boundary conditions. The approach is based on Green’s second identity and the forward-in-time discretization of the non-stationary problem. We derive a global connection that relates the source of the dynamical boundary condition and Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions in an integral equation. First, we perform time semi-discretization for the dynamical boundary condition into the integral equation. Then, on each time layer, we use Trefftz-type test functions to find the unknown source and Dirichlet boundary functions. The accuracy of the developed method for determining dynamical and Dirichlet boundary conditions for given over-determined data is first-order in time. We illustrate its efficiency for a high level of noise, namely, when the deviation of the input data is above 10% on some part of the over-specified boundary data. The proposed method achieves optimal accuracy for the identified boundary functions for a moderate number of iterations. Full article
