文摘We prove convergence for a meshfree first-order system least squares(FOSLS) partition of unity finite element method(PUFEM).Essentially,by virtue of the partition of unity,local approximation gives rise to global approximation in H(div)∩H(curl). The FOSLS formulation yields local a posteriori error estimates to guide the judicious allotment of new degrees of freedom to enrich the initial point set in a meshfree dis- cretization.Preliminary numerical results are provided and remaining challenges are discussed.
