Abstract
Meshless method is a type of promising numerical approach. But for the method, the convergence is still lack of common theoretical explanations, and the technique of numerical implementation also remains to be improved. It is worth noting that a kind of uniformly defined intervention point is used in many existing schemes. Therefore, the intervention-point principle is proposed. The viewpoint is likely to give a reasonable explanation for the inaccuracy and instability of the collocation method. Based on the principle, a design process for a new scheme was demonstrated. Some initial numerical tests were also offered. The results have revealed the intervention point to take effect on convergence, suggested a construction concept using intervention point for meshless collocation method, and presented a new scheme of meshless method for application.
