Because of the regrettable behavior of one of the authors (Dr Garzon) the paper “Equilibrium meshless method” has been withdrawn, since the paper is a fraud and its content and results are copied from other manuscripts. Apologies are due to Dr Duflot who emphasized the plagiarism of the Garzon paper with his paper:
“Dual analysis by a meshless method” by Marc Duflot and Hung Nguyen-Dang published in Communications in Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 18, Issue 9, Pages 621–631, 2002
We need to stress that the second author of the paper, Dr Sargoso, on November 28th, 2009 discovered that Dr Garzon cheated on results and methods and asked us to withdraw the paper. We could not withdraw the paper until now, since an author withdrawal note would be required to proceed. However, since we have not received a proper note from either of the “Equilibrium meshless method” paper authors, and considering the communications of Dr Duflot, Meccanica preferred to withdraw the paper in order to prevent an illicit spread of the paper itself.
