The method of fundamental solutions with Chebyshev polynomials (MFS-CP) is an exponentially-convergent meshless numerical method which is able to solving nonhomogeneous partial differential equations if the fundamental solution and the analytical particular solutions of the considered operator are known. In this study, the MFS-CP is extended to solve Poisson-type nonlinear PDEs by using the FTIM. In the solution procedure, the FTIM is introduced to convert a Poisson-type nonlinear PDE into a sequence of linear nonhomogeneous modified Helmholtz equations which are then formally solved by the MFS-CP. Several numerical experiments were carried out to validate the proposed methods.
