Abstract

In this paper, the spectral meshless radial point interpolation (SMRPI) technique is applied to a mathematical model for two-dimensional capillary formation model in tumor angiogenesis problem. This is a natural continuation of capillary formation in tumor angiogenesis (Shivanian and Jafarabadi in Eng Comput 34:603–619, 2018), where the capillary (1D problem) has been considered. The mathematical model describes the progression of tumor angiogenic factor in a unit square space domain, namely the extracellular matrix. First, we obtain a time discrete scheme by approximating time derivative via a finite difference formula, and then, we use the SMRPI approach to approximate the spatial derivatives. This approach is based on a combination of meshless methods and spectral collocation techniques. The point interpolation method with the help of radial basis functions is used to construct shape functions which act as basis functions in the frame of SMRPI. Because of non-availability of the exact solution, we consider two strategies for checking the stability of time difference scheme and for survey the convergence of the fully discrete scheme. The obtained numerical results show that the SMRPI provides high accuracy and efficiency with respect to the other classical methods in the literature.
