Abstract The present paper aims at introducing the concept of Green's function type fundamental solutions (i.e., unit source fundamental solutions satisfying particular boundary conditions) into the context of meshless approaches, particularly dealing with the local boundary integral equation method (LBIE) derived from the classic boundary integral equation procedure. The Green's functions discussed here are mainly the so-called half-plane solution, corresponding to a unit source within a semi-plane bounded by a flux-free straight line and an infinite plane containing internal lines of potential discontinuity. The latter is here introduced in numerical fashion, as an extension of the More >
