Radial Basis Functions are considered as important tools for scattered data interpolation. Collocation procedure is a powerful technique in meshless methods which is developed on the assumption of radial basis functions to solve partial differential equations in high dimensional domains having complex shapes. In this study, a numerical method, implementing the RBF collocation method and finite differences, is employed for solving not only 2-D linear, but also nonlinear Sobolev equations. First order finite differences and Crank-Nicolson method are applied to discretize the temporal part. Using the energy method, it is shown that the applied time-discrete approach is convergent in terms of time variable with order . The spatial parts are approximated by implementation of two-dimensional MQ-RBF interpolation resulting in a linear system of algebraic equations. By solving the linear system, approximate solutions are determined. The proposed scheme is verified by solving different problems and error norms and are computed. Computations accurately demonstrated the efficiency of the suggested method. Manuscript profile

The current research approximates the unknown function based on the normalized Müntz−Legendre polynomials (NMLPs) in conjunction with a spectral method for the solution of nonlinear Fredholm and Volterra integral equations. In this method, by using operational matrices, a system of algebraic equations is derived that can be readily handled through the use of the Newton scheme. The stability, error bound, and convergence analysis of the method are discussed in detail by preparing some theorems. Several illustrative examples are provided formally to show the efficiency of the proposed method. Manuscript profile
