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 Moving Least Squares method (MLS) provides an approximation û of a function u based solely on values u(xj) of u on scattered ”meshless” nodes xj . Derivatives of u are usually approximated by derivatives of û. In contrast to this, we directly estimate derivatives of u from the data, without any detour via derivatives of û. This is a generalized Moving Least Squares technique, and we prove t...

Using a decomposition of the global error into a locally created part and a propagating component, we derive residual-based two-sided local a posteriori error bounds for the locally created component of the global error for Petrov-Galerkin approximations of symmetric positive systems in the sense of Friedrichs. The performance of the a local error indicators is illustrated by a series of numeri...

The finite element method (FEM) has been commonly employed in a variety of fields as a computer simulation method to solve such problems as solid, fluid, electro-magnetic phenomena and so on. However, creation of a quality mesh for the problem domain is a prerequisite when using FEM, which becomes a major part of the cost of a simulation. It is natural that the concept of meshless method has ev...

For the first time in mathematical finance field, we propose the local weak form meshless methods for option pricing; especially in this paper we select and analysis two schemes of them named local boundary integral equation method (LBIE) based on moving least squares approximation (MLS) and local radial point interpolation (LRPI) based on Wu’s compactly supported radial basis functions (WCS-RB...

We investigate an h-p version of the continuous Petrov-Galerkin method for the nonlinear Volterra functional integro-differential equations with vanishing delays. We derive h-p version a priori error estimates in the L-, Hand L-norms, which are completely explicit in the local discretization and regularity parameters. Numerical computations supporting the theoretical results are also presented.

The application of the local meshless numerical method (LRBFCM) for solving a system of coupled partial differential equations (PDE) is explored. The numerical approach is tested on the natural convection based fluid flow problems. The fluid flow part of the solution procedure is coupled locally despite its global nature. Such an approach makes the computations convenient for an implementation ...

A meshless solution algorithm for the full potential equation has been developed by applying the principles of the Taylor Least Squares (TLS) method. This method allows for a PDE to be discretized on a local cloud of scattered nodes without the need of connectivity data. The process for discretizing the full potential equation within a meshless framework is outlined along with a novel Hermite T...
