[1,2] • • • A phase of matter where all particles occupy the same quantum state Occurs when diulated bosons (integer spin particles) gas are cooled to extremely low temperature (10 -9 K) Individual particle wave functions behave as a single wave function 4

Radial Basis Functions 12

Radial basis function • What is a radial basis function (RBF)? [4,5] 13

RBF scattered data approximation • Given a set of data {x 1 ...x N } and the corresponding known values {f(x 1 )..f(x N )}. Find the function f(x) that describes the data set.

• • Is the system guaranteed to be solvable ?

Are the solutions unique ?

Background of radial basis functions • The system is solvable and unique provided the coefficient matrix is positive definite. [4,5,11] 16

Background of radial basis functions Globally supported strictly positive definite radial basis functions (GSRBF) • • • Leads to dense coefficient matrix In many cases the coefficient matrix is ill-conditioned For matrix inversion Schaback (2007) suggested – Singular Value Decomposition – Regularization techniques 17

Background of radial basis functions Compactly supported radial basis functions (CSRBF) • • • • Wu and Wendland introduced the compactly supported RBF (CSRBF) [4,5] Leads to sparse coefficient matrix Reduce ill-conditioning of the resultant coefficient matrix The usage of CSRBF will be explored in 3D NLS numerical experiment 18

Error Behaviour of RBF techniques • Trade off principle Schaback (1995) [5]

Theorem: It is impossible to construct radial basis functions which guarantees good stability and small errors at the same time.

• Driscoll and Fornberg (2002) observed the "Flat Limit” [6]

c->∞ leads to highly ill-conditioned RBF interpolation matrix c->0 implies highly localized RBFs such that it fails to approximate data between collocation points

Error Behaviour of RBF techniques • Wright, Fornberg, Larsson (2004) [7] – With increasing shape parameter, interpolation error decreases sharply until the minimum numerical error is reached. – For any increasing shape parameter, interpolation error rapidly increases.

The rapid decrease of interpolation error reaches a minimum.

Solving PDE with radial basis functions • Kansa (1990) proposed a direct approach to approximate the solution of PDE by • • where Ф represents any RBF and p(x) is basis polynomial of up to order m.

Consider a linear PDE boundary value problem • where the linear operator L operates on the interior points Ω/∂Ω, the operator B boundaries ∂Ω.

specifies the boundary conditions for collocations on the 21

Solving PDE with radial basis functions • Applying the RBF approximation the domain with N i Ω/∂Ω and N b interior points in boundary points on ∂Ω yields N equations • To remove the extra m degrees of freedom of the polynomial p(x) 22

Solving PDE with radial basis functions • Rewriting in matrix form • Note: The resultant PDE matrix is asymmetric. Hence Kansa method is also known as asymmetric collocation method.

Solving time-dependent PDE with θ method and RBF • Some common methods for time-dependent PDE – θ-method – Runge-Kutta – Laplace Transform • θ-method – – Based on the discretization of time-domain of the PDE. The forward and backward time-step is weighted by (0 ≤ θ ≤ 1) • Consider the following time-dependent linear PDE problem 24

Solving time-dependent PDE with θ method and RBF • constructing a time-domain mesh for M units, such that each time increment is denoted by t

=ndt, n=1..M, dt=T/M. • Hence the approximated PDE problem becomes • Approximate spatial variables by radial basis functions (ie. Kansa method) 25
