The MLPG method is the general basis for several variations of meshless methods presented in recent literature. The interrelation of the various meshless approaches is presented in this paper. Several variations of the meshless interpolation schemes are reviewed also. Recent developments and applications of the MLPG methods are surveyed.

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 ...

In this work, an adaptive and efficient basis function is presented by which the Schrodinger equation can be solved using meshless method in an accurate and fast approach. The base of this achievement is the quantum wave packet. The proposed basis function reduces time consumption of the meshless method, approximately to half. Also, it inherits the fundamental properties of wave packets. Theref...

In this paper, the conventional moving least squares interpolation scheme is generalized, to incorporate the information concerning the derivative of the ®eld variable into the interpolation scheme. By using this generalized moving least squares interpolation, along with the MLPG (Meshless Local Petrov±Galerkin) paradigm, a new numerical approach is proposed to deal with 4th order problems of t...

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...

Abstract: A meshless method based on radial point interpolation was recently developed as an effective tool for solving partial differential equations, and has been widely applied to a number of different problems. In addition to the primary advantage of the meshless methods that the computation is performed without any connectivity information between field nodes, the radial point interpolatio...

This paper presents a stochastic meshless method for probabilistic analysis of linear-elastic structures with spatially varying random material properties. Using Karhunen-Loève (K-L) expansion, the homogeneous random field representing material properties was discretized by a set of orthonormal eigenfunctions and uncorrelated random variables. Two numerical methods were developed for solving th...

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...
