چکیده

In this paper, it is proved that the two approaches, known in the literature as the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) and the Trefftz method, are mathematically equivalent in spite of their essentially minor and apparent differences in formulation. In deriving the equivalence of the Trefftz method and the MFS for the Laplace and biharmonic problems, it is interesting to find that the complete set in the Trefftz method for the Laplace and biharmonic problems are embedded in the degenerate kernels of the MFS. The degenerate scale appears using the MFS when the geometrical matrix is singular. The occurring mechanism of the degenerate scale in the MFS is also studied by using circulant. The comparison of accuracy and efficiency of the two methods was addressed. c © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Bending Solution for Simply Supported Annular Plates Using the Indirect Trefftz Boundary Method

This paper presents the bending analysis of annular plates by the indirect Trefftz boundary approach. The formulation for thin and thick plates is based on the Kirchhoff plate theory and the Reissner plate theory. The governing equations are therefore a fourth-order boundary value problem and a sixth-order boundary value problem, respectively. The Trefftz method employs the complete set of solu...

Application of Laplace decomposition method for Burgers-Huxley and Burgers-Fisher equations

In this paper, we apply the Laplace decomposition method to obtain a series solutions of the Burgers-Huxley and Burgers-Fisher equations. The technique is based on the application of Laplace transform to nonlinear partial differential equations. The method does not need linearization, weak nonlinearity assumptions or perturbation theory and the nonlinear terms can be easily handled by using the...

On Solving the Ill-Conditioned System Ax = b: General-Purpose Conditioners Obtained From the Boundary-Collocation Solution of the Laplace Equation, Using Trefftz Expansions With Multiple Length Scales

Here we develop a general purpose pre/post conditioner T, to solve an ill-posed system of linear equations, Ax = b. The conditioner T is obtained in the course of the solution of the Laplace equation, through a boundary-collocation Trefftz method, leading to: Ty = x, where y is the vector of coefficients in the Trefftz expansion, and x is the boundary data at the discrete points on a unit circl...

The analytical solutions for Volterra integro-differential equations within Local fractional operators by Yang-Laplace transform

In this paper, we apply the local fractional Laplace transform method (or Yang-Laplace transform) on Volterra integro-differential equations of the second kind within the local fractional integral operators to obtain the analytical approximate solutions. The iteration procedure is based on local fractional derivative operators. This approach provides us with a convenient way to find a solution ...

A new RBF-Trefftz meshless method for partial differential equations

Based on the radial basis functions (RBF) and T-Trefftz solution, this paper presents a new meshless method for numerically solving various partial differential equation systems. First, the analog equation method (AEM) is used to convert the original patial differential equation to an equivalent Poisson’s equation. Then, the radial basis functions (RBF) are employed to approxiamate the inhomoge...
