Generalizing the finite element method: Diffuse approximation and diffuse elements

From MaRDI portal





A new approximation method, called diffuse approximation, is presented. It is based on a local weighted least squares polynomial fitting. It provides local but continuous approximations of functions and of their successive derivatives. This new method provides better gradients of the unknown functions than the finite element method. It requires sets of discretization points (or nodes) and no explicit elements. Some numerical tests are included.
