Meshless Methods and Their Numerical Properties - Hua Li - Bog

A comprehensive introduction to meshless methods, this book gives complete mathematical formulations for the most important and classical methods, as well as several recently developed by the authors. It also offers a rigorous mathematical treatment of their numerical properties¿including consistency, convergence, stability, and adaptivity¿to help you choose the method that is best for your needs. The book contains several examples of engineering applications, including the nonlinear fluid-structure analysis of near-bed submarine pipelines and the two-dimensional multiphysics simulation of pH-sensitive hydrogels.
