MQ-Radial Basis Functions Center Nodes Selection with PROMETHEE Technique
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper, we decide to select the best center nodes of radial basis functions by applying the Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques. Two methods based on radial basis functions to approximate the solution of partial differential equation by using collocation method are applied. The first is based on the Kansa's approach, and the second is based on the Hermite interpolation. In addition, by choosing five sets of center nodes: Uniform grid, Cartesian, Chebyshev, Legendre and Legendre-Gauss-Lobato (LGL) as alternatives and achieving the error, the condition number of interpolation matrix and memory time as criteria, rating of cases with the help of PROMETHEE technique is obtained. In the end, the best center nodes and method is selected according to the rankings. This ranking shows that Hermite interpolation by using non-uniform nodes as center nodes is more suitable than Kansa's approach with each center node.

In this paper, an effective technique is proposed to determine thenumerical solution of nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integralequations (VFIEs) which is based on interpolation by the hybrid ofradial basis functions (RBFs) including both inverse multiquadrics(IMQs), hyperbolic secant (Sechs) and strictly positive definitefunctions.

full textResearch on the Center Sets for Radial Basis Functions Interpolation
Radial basis functions are powerful meshfree methods for multivariate interpolation for scattered data. But both the approximation quality and stability depend on the distribution of the center set. Many methods such as so called thinning algorithm, greedy algorithm, arclength equipartition like algorithm and k-means clustering algorithm are constructed for center choosing. But all these method...

Radial basis function methods are modern ways to approximate multivariate functions, especially in the absence of grid data. They have been known, tested and analysed for several years now and many positive properties have been identified. This paper gives a selective but up-to-date survey of several recent developments that explains their usefulness from the theoretical point of view and contr...
full textDeformable Radial Basis Functions
Radial basis function networks (RBF) are efficient general function approximators. They show good generalization performance and they are easy to train. Due to theoretical considerations RBFs commonly use Gaussian activation functions. It has been shown that these tight restrictions on the choice of possible activation functions can be relaxed in practical applications. As an alternative differ...
full textStable Computations with Gaussian Radial Basis Functions
Radial basis function (RBF) approximation is an extremely powerful tool for representing smooth functions in non-trivial geometries, since the method is meshfree and can be spectrally accurate. A perceived practical obstacle is that the interpolation matrix becomes increasingly illconditioned as the RBF shape parameter becomes small, corresponding to flat RBFs. Two stable approaches that overco...
full textVector Field Interpolation with Radial Basis Functions
This paper presents a new approach for the Radial Basis Function (RBF) interpolation of a vector field. Standard approaches for interpolation randomly select points for interpolation. Our approach uses the knowledge of vector field topology and selects points for interpolation according to the critical points location. We presents the results of interpolation errors on a vector field generated ...
