Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive meshless method of line is applied to distribute the nodes in the spatial domain. In many cases in meshless methods, it is also necessary for the chosen nodes to have certain smoothness properties. The set of nodes is also required to satisfy certain constraints. In this paper, one of these constraints is investigated. The aim of this manuscript is the implementation of an algorithm for selection of the nodes satisfying a given constraint, in the meshless method of line. This algorithm is applied to some illustrative examples to show the efficiency of the algorithm and its ability to increase the accuracy.
