This study modifies and discusses the application of a complete meshless method based on Shepard approximation with an emphasis on the detailed description of this computational technique and its numerical implementations. A new weighting function would be suggested. The global shape function and its derivatives are built based only on the discretisation of the domain in nodes. To deal with the...

In this paper we study the method of interpolation by radial basis functions and give some error estimates in Sobolev space H(Ω) (k ≥ 1). With a special kind of radial basis function, we construct a basis in H(Ω) and derive a meshless method for solving elliptic partial differential equations. We also propose a method for computing the global data density. Mathematics subject classification: 41...

This study presents a meshless-based local reanalysis (MLR) method. The purpose of this study is to extend reanalysis methods to the Kriging interpolation meshless method due to its high efficiency. In this study, two reanalysis methods: combined approximations CA) and indirect factorization updating (IFU) methods are utilized. Considering the computational cost of meshless methods, the reanaly...

Two meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) methods based on two different trial functions but that use a simple linear test function were developed for beam and column problems. These methods used generalized moving least squares (GMLS) and radial basis (RB) interpolation functions as trial functions. These two methods were tested on various patch test problems. Both methods passed the patch tes...

In this paper, we propose a brief and general process to compute the eigenvalue of arbitrary waveguides using meshless method based on radial basis functions (MLM-RBF) interpolation. The main idea is that RBF basis functions are used in a point matching method to solve the Helmholtz equation only in Cartesian system. Two kinds of boundary conditions of waveguide problems are also analyzed. To v...

In this paper, we derive error estimates for generalized interpolation, in particular collocation, in Sobolev spaces. We employ our estimates to collocation problems using radial basis functions and extend and improve previously known results for elliptic problems. Finally, we use meshless collocation to approximate Lyapunov functions for dynamical systems.

In this paper, we develop the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin formulation of the scattering from rectangular cavities embedded in a ground plane. The electromagnetic scattering by the cavity is governed by the Helmholtz equation along with Sommerfeld's radiation conditions imposed at infinity. The MLPG method is a truly meshless method wherein no elements or background cells are needed, in eithe...
