Abstract We present an error bound for a least squares version of the kernel based meshless finite difference method elliptic differential equations on smooth compact manifolds arbitrary dimension without boundary. In particular, we obtain sufficient conditions convergence this method. Numerical examples are provided equation $$-\Delta _{\mathcal {M}} u + = f$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w...

This paper proposes a method for approximating unorganized points in lR 3 with smooth B-spline surfaces. The method involves: meshless parameteri-zation; triangulation; shape-preserving reparameterization; and least squares spline approximation.

A Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method has been developed for solving 3D elastodynamic problems. It is derived from the local weak form of the equilibrium equations by using the general MLPG concept. By incorporating the moving least squares (MLS) approximations for trial and test functions, the local weak form is discretized, and is integrated over the local sub-domain for the transien...

In this paper, the laminar incompressible flow equations are solved by an upwind least-squares meshless method. Due to the difficulties in generating quality meshes, particularly in complex geometries, a meshless method is increasingly used as a new numerical tool. The meshless methods only use clouds of nodes to influence the domain of every node. Thus, they do not require the nodes to be conn...

The meshles.i method based on the least-squares approach, the rneshle.is weighted leastsquares (MWLS) method, is extended to soive conduction heat transfer problems. The MWLS formulation is first established for steady-state problems and then extended to unsteady-state problems with time-stepping schemes. Theoretiiai analy.us antl numerical examples indicate that larger time steps can be used i...
