Abstract

In this paper, a numerical method is given for partial differential equations, which combines the use of Lagrange multipliers with radial basis functions. It is a new method to deal with difficulties that arise in the Galerkin radial basis function approximation applied to Dirichlet (also mixed) boundary value problems. Convergence analysis results are given. Several examples show the efficiency of the method using TPS or Sobolev splines.
