Abstract

For a very long time, finite volume, finite element, or finite difference methods have been used to solve partial differential equations (PDEs) numerically. These techniques have been used by researchers for centuries to solve a wide range of mathematical, physical, or chemical problems. The complexity of these numerical approaches, for the resolution of the PDEs in space dimensions equal to two or higher, can come from the coding, the management, and the good choice of the triangulation or the mesh of the domain in which one wishes to locate the solution. The radial basis function collocation method is a meshless technique used to numerically solve some partial differential equations and is based on the nodes of the domain and a radial basis function is a real-valued function whose value only depends on the separation of its input parameter x from another fixed point, sometimes known as the function's origin or center. This method was introduced by KANSA in the 1990s. In this study, the numerical simulation of the one-dimensional heat equation was carried out using the RBF Collocation Method and particularly the Gaussian function. This model was used to test the accuracy and efficiency of this method by comparing numerical and analytical solutions on rectangular geometry with collocation nodes. The results show that the RBF collocation approximate solution and the exact solution coincided in test case problems 2, 3 and 4.
