In Parallel and Distributed Systems Laboratory we are working on a C++ library that is first and foremost focused on tools for solving Partial Differential Equations by meshless methods. The basic idea is to create generic codes for tools that are needed for solving not only PDEs but many other problems, e.g. Moving Least Squares approximation, kD-tree, domain generation engines, etc. Technical details about code, examples, and  can be found on our documentation page

Welcome to the Medusa wiki. To visit the main website, go to http://e6.ijs.si/medusa/.

In Parallel and Distributed Systems Laboratory we are working on a C++ library that is first and foremost focused on tools for solving Partial Differential Equations by meshless methods. The basic idea is to create generic codes for tools that are needed for solving not only PDEs but many other problems, e.g. Moving Least Squares approximation, $k$-d tree, domain generation engines, etc. We call this open source meshless project Medusa: Coordinate Free Meshless Method implementation (MM).

Technical details about code and examples can be found on our documentation page and Gitlab repository. Alt text Alt text

This wiki site is meant for more relaxed discussions about general principles, possible and already implemented applications, preliminary analyses, etc. Note, that there are many grammatical mistakes, typos, stupid sentences, etc. This wiki is meant for quick information exchange and therefore we do not invest a lot of energy into styling :).
