  • Abstract

The goal of this work is to solve nonlocal diffusion and anomalous diffusion problems by approximating the nonlocal integral appearing in the integro-differential equation by novel quadrature rules. These quadrature rules are derived so that they are exact for a nonlocal integral evaluated at translations of a given radial basis function (RBF). We first illustrate how to derive RBF-generated quadrature rules in one dimension and demonstrate their accuracy for approximating a nonlocal integral. Once the quadrature rules are derived as a preprocessing step, we apply them to approximate the nonlocal integral in a nonlocal diffusion problem and when the temporal derivative is approximated by a standard difference approximation a system of difference equations are obtained. This approach is extended to two dimensions where both a circular and rectangular nonlocal neighborhood are considered. Numerical results are provided and we compare our results to published results solving nonlocal problems using standard finite element methods.
