Everything about Kansa method

Computational method for solving partial differential equations

The Kansa method is a meshless numerical method for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) introduced by E. J. Kansa in the early 1990s. The method uses radial basis functions (RBFs) to approximate the solution in a strong-form collocation framework. The method is a domain-type numerical technique in the sense that the problem is discretized not only on the boundary to satisfy boundary conditions but also inside domain to satisfy governing equation.
