In this paper we consider the application of hierarchical functions to base approximations which are a partition of unity. The particular hierarchical functions used are added to base finite element interpolations which, for Co approximations, are a particular case of the partition of unity. We also

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper we report the development of a geometry-based automatic pre-processing environment for the method of finite spheres; a truly meshfree numerical technique developed for the solution of boundary value problems on geometrically complex domains. Techniques of generating open covers for the Galerkin-based as well as the point collocation-based method of finite spheres are presented for two as well as three-dimensional problems by recursive spatial subdivision using quadtrees and octrees, respectively.

## Abstract A computational procedure based on gradient iterative techniques is proposed for the solution of large problems to which the finite element method is applicable. In linear problems the procedure can be used either for solving the set of algebraic equations or for the complete inversion
