The numerical approximation of definite integrals, or quadrature, often involves the construction of an interpolant of the integrand and its subsequent integration. In the case of one dimension it is natural to rely on polynomial interpolants. However, their extension to two or more dimensions can be costly and unstable. An efficient method for computing surface integrals on the sphere is detailed in the literature (Reeger & Fornberg 2016 Stud. Appl. Math. 137 , 174–188. ( doi:10.1111/sapm.12106 )). The method uses local radial basis function interpolation to reduce computational complexity when generating quadrature weights for any given node set. This article generalizes this method to arbitrary smooth closed surfaces.

It is well known that traditional finite element (FEM) is an efficient method in solving engineering problems. However, when solving the acoustic problems in medium frequency, FEM suffers from the so-called pollution effect, which is directly related to the dispersion. In this paper, meshless method based on radial basis function (RBF) is introduced to solve the acoustic problem, which shows that the dispersion can be greatly reduced, thus it is very suitable for the solution of mid-frequency acoustic problem. In addition, an algorithm is presented to treat the boundary condition, which improves the performance of the meshless method.

In this paper, we propose a new hybrid direct search method where a frame-based PRP conjugate gradients direct search algorithm is combined with radial basis function interpolation model. In addition, the rotational minimal positive basis is used to reduce the computation work at each iteration. Numerical results for solving the CUTEr test problems show that the proposed method is promising.
