Eulerian vs Lagrangian vs Mesh-based vs Meshfree/Meshless methods
Hailing from the scicomp community recently getting into computer-graphics, I have noticed that the scicomp communities talk about mesh-based methods like FDM, FVM, FEM, etc, vs meshfree or meshless ...

Dirichlet term in error estimations
I am working on a method based on moving least square approximation where shape functions do not satisfy Kroneker Delta property. So Dirichlet boundary condition should be enforced.
I usually used ...

Meshless Methods and the Kronecker Delta Property
In texts I often read that meshless methods, as opposed to the FEM, do not exhibit the Kronecker Delta Property [1]:
$N_I(x_J)\neq\delta_{IJ} = \begin{cases}1 &\mbox{if } I=J \\0 &\mbox{...

How to determine the support/influence domain for irregularly distributed nodes in the Element-Free Galekin Method?
EDIT (26-12-14):In the Belytschko's EFG code, the domain of influence for uniform distributed node can be calculated using the code below; my question is how to calculate xspac and yspac when the ...

Could you give examples of serious usage of meshfree methods?
I would like to hear about scientific codes and commercial packages utilizing meshless methods like Element-Free Galerkin based on Moving Least Squares functions. By "serious" I mean they could be ...
