We present a non-nested multilevel algorithm for solving the Poisson equation discretized at scattered points using polyharmonic radial basis function (PHS-RBF) interpolations. We append polynomials to the radial basis functions to achieve exponential convergence of discretization errors. The interpolations are performed over local clouds of points and the Poisson equation is collocated at each of the scattered points, resulting in a sparse set of discrete equations for the unkown variables. To solve this set of equations, we have developed a non-nested multilevel algorithm utilizing multiple independently generated coarse sets of points. The restriction and prolongation operators are also constructed with the same RBF interpolations procedure. The performance of the algorithm for Dirichlet and all-Neumann boundary conditions is evaluated in three model geometries using a manufactured solution. For Dirichlet boundary conditions, rapid convergence is observed using SOR point solver as the relaxation scheme. For cases of all-Neumann boundary conditions, convergence is seen to slow down with the degree of the appended polynomial. However, when the multilevel procedure is combined with a GMRES algorithm, the convergence is seen to significantly improve. The GMRES accelerated multilevel algorithm is included in a fractional step method to solve incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.
