Mixed methods for fourth-order elliptic and parabolic problems using radial basis functions

Abstract By extending Wendland’s meshless Galerkin methods using RBFs, we develop mixed methods for solving fourth-order elliptic and parabolic problems by using RBFs. Similar error estimates as classical mixed finite element methods are proved.
