TLDR
In this paper, a two-dimensional finite-difference technique for irregular meshes is formulated for derivatives up to the second order, where the domain in the vicinity of a given central point is broken into eight 45 degree pie shaped segments and the closest finite difference point in each segment to the center point is noted.

Meshless methods: An overview and recent developments

TL;DR: Meshless approximations based on moving least-squares, kernels, and partitions of unity are examined and it is shown that the three methods are in most cases identical except for the important fact that partitions ofunity enable p-adaptivity to be achieved.

A review of techniques, advances and outstanding issues in numerical modelling for rock mechanics and rock engineering

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the techniques, advances, problems and likely future developments in numerical modelling for rock mechanics and discuss the value that is obtained from the modelling, especially the enhanced understanding of those mechanisms initiated by engineering perturbations.

A finite point method in computational mechanics. applications to convective transport and fluid flow

TL;DR: In this article, the finite point method (FPM) is proposed for solving partial differential equations, which is based on a weighted least square interpolation of point data and point collocation for evaluating the approximation integrals.

A stabilized finite point method for analysis of fluid mechanics problems

TL;DR: In this paper, a meshless finite point method for convection-diffusion and fluid flow type problems is presented, which is based on the use of a weighted least-square interpolation procedure together with point collocation for evaluating the approximation integrals.
