Abstract Meshless Local Petrov Galerkin (MLPG) methods are pure meshless techniques for solving Partial Differential Equations (PDE). MLPG techniques are nowadays used for solving a huge number of complex, real–life problems. While MLPG aims to approximate the solution of a given differential problem, its “dual” Direct MLPG (DMLPG) technique relies upon approximating linear functionals. Assume adaptive methods are to be implemented. When using a mesh–based method, inserting and/or deleting a node implies complex adjustment of connections. Meshless methods are more apt to implement adaptivity, since they does not require such adjustments. Nevertheless, ad–hoc insertion and/or deletion… More >
