Abstract

The paper presents a fully meshless procedure fo solving partial differential equations. The approach termed generically the ‘finite point method’ is based on a weighted least square interpolation of point data and point collocation for evaluating the approximation integrals. Some examples showing the accuracy of the method for solution of adjoint and non-self adjoint equations typical of convective-diffusive transport and also to the analysis of compressible fluid mechanics problem are presented.
