“…There are many papers concerned with the numerical solutions of elliptic type boundary value problems by using the meshless and mesh reduction methods, such as Zhu et al, 1998Zhu et al, , 1999Zhu, 1998a, 1998b;Atluri et al, 1999;Atluri and Shen, 2002;Li et al, 2007 andGhimire et al, 2016. The collocation techniques together with the expansion of trial solutions by utilizing different basis-functions were employed to solve the elliptic type boundary value problems; see, for example, Cheng et al, 2003;Hu et al, 2005;Tian et al, 2008, and Hu and Chen, 2008.…”
