Boundary solution of Poisson's equation using radial basis function collocated on Gaussian quadrature nodes

In the solution of Poisson's equation using either the dual reciprocity boundary element method or the method of fundamental solution, radial basis functions (RBFs) are used to approximate the right-hand side of the governing partial differential equation to eliminate the domain integration. This paper shows that if the RBF interpolation is collocated on the Gaussian quadrature nodes, we seem to observe superconvergence behaviour. This behaviour is demonstrated using a series of numerical examples. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
