Abstract
Elementβfree Galerkin (EFG) methods are based on a moving leastβsquares (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 paper, the relationship between corrected collocation and Lagrange multiplier method is revealed, and a new strategy that is accurate and very simple for enforcement of essential boundary conditions is presented. The accuracy and implementation of this new technique is illustrated for oneβdimensional elasticity and twoβdimensional potential field problems. Copyright Β© 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract A modified version of the equilibrium on line method (ELM) for imposition of Neumann boundary conditions in collocation methods is presented. In the ELM, equilibrium on lines in the local coordinate systems on the Neumann boundary is satisfied as Neumann boundary condition equations. In
Collocation methods for applying essential boundary conditions are deΓΏned as those methods in which conditions are enforced exactly at a discrete set of boundary nodes. In mesh-free methods, this is usually accomplished by replacing rows of the matrix equations which result from discretization of th
## 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
The presence of singularities in the integral operators of the boundary element methods requires that the density functions must satisfy certain continuity requirements if the displacements and stresses are to be bounded. Quite often the continuity conditions, particularly on the derivatives of the
