Meshfree Methods for Partial Differential Equations VII
Meshfree methods, particle methods, and generalized finite element methods have witnessed substantial development since the mid 1990s. The growing interest in these methods is due in part to the fact that they are extremely flexible numerical tools and can be interpreted in a number of ways.

Creatively refashioning approaches taken from the field of linguistics, the new scholarship challenged orthodox interp…
