Meshfree methods for the solution of partial differential equations gained much attention in recent years, not only in the engineering but also in the mathemati

The numerical treatment of partial differential equations with particle methods and meshfree discretization techniques is a very active research field both in t

The finite difference method (FDM) hasbeen used tosolve differential equation systems for centuries. The FDM works well for problems of simple geometry and was

Meshfree methods, particle methods, and generalized finite element methods have witnessed substantial development since the mid 1990s. The growing interest in t

Meshfree approximation methods are a relatively new area of research. This book provides the salient theoretical results needed for a basic understanding of mes
