boundary integral equations (bie) are reformulations of boundary value problems for partial differential equations. there is a plethora of research on numerical methods for all types of these equations such as solving by discretization which includes numerical integration. in this paper, the neumann problem is reformulated to a bie, and then moving least squares as a meshless method is describe...

a meshless approach, collocation discrete least square (cdls) method, is extended in this paper, for solvingelasticity problems. in the present cdls method, the problem domain is discretized by distributed field nodes. the fieldnodes are used to construct the trial functions. the moving least-squares interpolant is employed to construct the trialfunctions. some collocation points that are indep...

a truly meshless local petrov-galerkin (mlpg) method is developed for solving 3d elasto-static problems. using the general mlpg concept, this method is derived through the local weak forms of the equilibrium equations, by using test functions, namely, the heaviside function. the moving least squares (mls) are chosen to construct the shape functions, for the mlpg method. the penalty approximatio...

numerical solutions obtained by the meshless local petrov–galerkin (mlpg) method are presented for two-dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems. the mlpg method is a truly meshless approach, and neither the nodal connectivity nor the background mesh is required for solving the initial-boundary-value problem. the penalty method is adopted to efficiently enforce the essential boundary co...

Development of a new meshless technique is described, called the meshless volume scheme. The method is completely meshless, yet retains the low storage and simple flux distribution technique characteristic of finite volume methods. The new method is based on the well-known Taylor series expansion method with least squares. A least squares weighting scheme is introduced that significantly reduce...

Numerical solutions obtained by the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method are presented for two dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems. The MLPG method is a truly meshless approach, and neither the nodal connectivity nor the background mesh is required for solving the initial-boundary-value problem. The penalty method is adopted to efficiently enforce the essential boundary co...

In recent years, there have been extensive efforts to find the numerical methods for solving problems with interface. The main idea of this work is to introduce an efficient truly meshless method based on the weak form for interface problems. The proposed method combines the direct meshless local Petrov–Galerkin method with the visibility criterion technique to solve the interface problems. It ...

The meshless method based on the least-squares approach, the meshless weighted leastsquares (MWLS) method, is extended to solve 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. Theoretical analysis and numerical examples indicate that larger time steps can be used in th...
