Abstract The method of fundamental solutions (MFS) is a truly meshless numerical method widely used in the elliptic type boundary value problems, of which the approximate solution is expressed as a linear combination of fundamental solutions and the unknown coefficients are determined from the boundary conditions by solving a linear equations system. However, the accuracy of MFS is severely limited by its ill-conditioning of the resulting linear equations system. This paper is motivated by the works of Chen, Wu, Lee and Chen (2007) and Liu (2007a). The first paper proved an equivalent relation of the Trefftz method and MFS for circular… More >
