MeshFree Methods is a growing area on Numerical Analysis covering
approximation of functions and PDE solutions without the use of a
classic mesh discretization of the domain or its boundary.

This Workshop on Meshfree Methods will focus in the following themes

- The  Method of Fundamental Solutions
- Trefftz Methods
- Radial Basis Functions

About the picture: A scheme representing the approximation in the method of fundamental solutions. The gold points are outside point-sources and the blue points are the collocation points on the domain. The picture was obtained with the help of the ray tracer code POV. The background picture was obtained from a view of the discoveries monument in Belém.
