Partial differential equations (PDEs) are widely used in mechanics, control processes, ecological and economic systems, chemical cycling systems, and epidemiology. Although there are some numerical methods for solving PDEs, simple and efficient methods have always been the direction that scholars strive to pursue. Based on this problem, we give the meshless barycentric interpolation collocation method (MBICM) for solving a class of PDEs. Four numerical experiments are carried out and compared with other methods; the accuracy of the numerical solution obtained by the present method is obviously improved.

A nonlinear vibration system arises in physics. Besides its mathematical model, it is of great importance to have an accurate and reliable solution to the system. Though there are many analytical methods, such as the variational iteration method and the homotopy perturbation method, numerical approaches are rare. This paper suggests the barycentric interpolation collocation method to solve nonlinear oscillators. The Duffing equation is adopted as an example to elucidate the solution process. Some numerical examples are studied to demonstrate the accuracy of the present method. Results obtained by the method indicate the method is simple and effective.
