The RBF-FD and RBF-FDTD Methods for Solving Time-Domain Electrical Transient Problems in Power Systems by Duc-Quang Vu, Nhat-Nam Nguyen, Phan-Tu Vu

“…RBFs such as Gaussian (GA), Multiquadric (MQ), Inverse Quadric (IQ), and Inverse Multiquadric (IMQ) are used in these numerical methods to formulate the central finite difference approximations of the first- and second-order derivatives of a function. The algorithm of selecting “optimal” shape parameters for our basis functions is also applied, specifically to increase the accuracy of the suggested methods with regard to high accuracy needs. …”
