“…Besides the EFG method, many researchers presented various meshless methods, such as radial basis functions (RBF) method [28,70], finite point method (FPM) [14,15,50,66], meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method [4,11], complex variable element-free Galerkin method [5, 19-21, 24-26, 38, 39, 43, 47, 53, 54, 64, 65], complex variable reproducing kernel particle method (CVRKPM) [8-10, 12, 71], meshless manifold method [30,40,41], meshfree reproducing kernel particle Ritz method [17], boundary element-free method (BEFM) [22,23,34,[44][45][46]51], local boundary integral equation (LBIE) method [3,29], and boundary node method [35].…”
