Περίληψη: The element-free Galerkin (EFG) method, which constructs shape functions via moving least squares (MLS) approximation, represents a fundamental and widely studied meshless method in numerical computation. Although it achieves high computational accuracy, the shape functions are more complex than those in the conventional finite element method (FEM), resulting in great computational requirements. Therefore, improving the computational efficiency of the EFG method represents an important research direction. This paper systematically reviews significant contributions from domestic and international scholars in advancing the EFG method. Including the improved element-free Galerkin (IEFG) method, various interpolating EFG methods, four distinct complex variable EFG methods, and a series of dimension splitting meshless methods. In the numerical examples, the effectiveness and efficiency of the three methods are validated by analyzing the solutions of the IEFG method for 3D steady-state anisotropic heat conduction, 3D elastoplasticity, and large deformation problems, as well as the performance of two-dimensional splitting meshless methods in solving the 3D Helmholtz equation.
