In mathematics the discrete least squares meshless (DLSM) method is a meshless method based on the least squares concept. The method is based on the minimization of a least squares functional, defined as the weighted summation of the squared residual of the governing differential equation and its boundary conditions at nodal points used to discretize the domain and its boundaries.
