It has been previously used, successfully, in issues governed by the Poisson and Helmholtz equations. However, every numerical method involves numerous improvement processes and these aim to enhance the results presented, adapt it to the solution of a new family problems, decrease its computational cost and even simplify it mathematically. Seeking to improve the quality of the results presented by DIBEM, two different expedients for this purpose are tested: first, the use of different radial basis functions families to analyze what are the functions that enable to obtain a better accuracy in results; Secondly, the use of an adjustment scheme of the type proposed by Hadamard to remove the singularity that occurs in the nucleus of the whole to be interpolated by DIBEM, thus eliminating the need for separate point sets, one for interpolation and the other for generation of source points. The evaluation of procedures is made confronting numerical values with the analytical solution in two-dimensional well-known eigenvalue problems.
