Abstract

A crucial point in the implementation of meshless methods such as the meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method is the evaluation of the domain integrals arising over circles in the discrete local weak form of the governing partial differential equation. In this paper we make a comparison between the product Gauss numerical quadrature rules, which are very popular in the MLPG literature, with cubature formulas specifically constructed for the approximation of an integral over the unit disk, but not yet applied in the MLPG method, namely the spherical, the circularly symmetrical and the symmetric cubature formulas. The same accuracy obtained with 64×64 points in the product Gauss rules may be obtained with symmetric quadrature formulas with very few points.
