Abstract A novel way is proposed to fulfill Kronecker delta condition in moving least squares (MLS) approximation along the essential boundary. In the proposed scheme, the original MLS weight is modified to boundary interpolatable (BI) weight based on the observation that the support of weight function is exactly the same as the support of MLS nodal shape function. The BI weight is zero along the boundary edges except the edges containing the nodal point associated with the concerned weight. In order to construct the BI weight from the original weight, concept of edge distance function is… More >
