An efficient approximate method for solution of the heat equation using Laguerre-Gaussians radial functions

Abstract

In the present paper, a numerical method is considered for solving one-dimensional heat equation subject to both Neumann and Dirichlet initial boundary conditions. This method is a combination of collocation method and radial basis functions (RBFs). The operational matrix of derivative for Laguerre-Gaussians (LG) radial basis functions is used to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. The results of numerical experiments are presented to confirm the validity and applicability of the presented scheme.
