A Radial Basis Function Collocation Method for Space-dependent Inverse Heat Problems

In this study, a radial basis function collocation method (RBFCM) is proposed for the numerical treatment of inverse space-wise dependent heat source problems. Multiquadric radial basis function is applied for spatial discretization whereas for temporal discretization Runge-Kutta method of order four is employed. Numerical experiments for one, two and three-dimensional cases are included to test the efficiency and accuracy of the suggested...
