Meshless methods: An overview and recent developments. (English) Zbl 0891.73075

Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 139, No. 1-4, 3-47 (1996).
Summary: Meshless approximations based on moving least-squares, kernels, and partitions of unity are examined. It is shown that the three methods are in most cases identical except for the important fact that partitions of unity enable \(p\)-adaptivity to be achieved. Methods for constructing discontinuous approximations and approximations with discontinuous derivatives are also described. Next, several issues in implementation are reviewed: discretization (collocation and Galerkin), quadrature in Galerkin and fast ways of constructing consistent moving least-squares approximations. The paper concludes with some sample calculations.
