## Abstract Elementโfree Galerkin (EFG) methods are based on a moving leastโsquares (MLS) approximation, which has the property that shape functions do not satisfy the Kronecker delta function at nodal locations, and for this reason imposition of essential boundary conditions is difficult. In this

The application of boundary conditions and other constraints to the stiness matrix and load vector is an integral part of any ยฎnite element code. This process is usually trivial but can present diculties to the point where some codes disallow certain combinations of commonly occurring boundary condi
## Abstract One of major difficulties in the implementation of meshless methods is the imposition of essential boundary conditions as the approximations do not pass through the nodal parameter values. As a consequence, the imposition of essential boundary conditions in meshless methods is quite awk
We present a theoretical study of a creeping, steady-state, isothermal flow of a viscoelastic fluid obeying an Oldroyd-type constitutive law with slip boundary condition. The slip boundary condition is appropriate for problems that involve free boundaries and other examples where the usual no-slip c
