SFU Applied & Computational Math Seminar Series: Argyrios Petras

Partial differential equations (PDEs) on surfaces arise throughout the natural and applied sciences. The solution of such equations poses a big challenge for rather general surfaces, where no parametrization is possible. In this talk, we will give an overview of some methods that are based on the closest point concept and use finite difference stencils based on radial basis functions (RBF-FD).
