Numerical simulation and applications of the convection–diffusion–reaction equation with the radial basis function in a finite-difference mode

This paper develops two local mesh-free methods for designing stencil weights and spatial discretization, respectively, for parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) of ...

Finite Difference Approximations of Derivatives

First-order derivatives: n additional function calls are needed. Second-order derivatives based on gradient calls, when the "grd" module is specified (Dennis and Schnabel 1983): n additional gradient ...
