Eksponencijalne atomske bazne funkcije : razvoj i primjena

In this work basic properties of algebraic Atomic Basis Functions (ABF) are systematized and, using analogous approach, ABF of exponential type, so far known only at the basic level, are developed. For the first time the properties of exponential ABFs are thoroughly investigated and expressions for calculating the values and all the necessary derivatives of the functions in an arbitrary points of the domain are developed as well as some special features required for their practical application in a form suitable for numerical analysis. A software module for calculating all necessary values of the exponential ABFs, including its own graphics support, is created within this work. Thus, the exponential ABF is prepared to use as users or compiler function. The presented 1D verification examples of the function approximation and the examples of solving differential equations illustrate and confirm the practical advantage of the ABFs of the exponential type in relation to the, so far mostly used, algebraic functions, especially for describing expressed fronts and/or waves contained in the numerical solutions of various technical tasks.
