Abstract

The solution of inhomogeneous elliptic problems by the Trefftz method has become increasingly more popular during the last decade [1- 3]. One method of solution uses the fundamental solutions as trial functions and the inhomogeneous part is expressed by radial basis functions (RBFs). The purpose of this paper is to solve several boundary value problems that have exact solutions. Two error criteria are used for comparison of the exact solutions and the approximated solutions. The first is the mean least square global error. The second has a local character, as it measures the absolute maximal error.
