Popis: Combining the dimension splitting method with the improved complex variable element-free Galerkin method, a hybrid improved complex variable element-free Galerkin (H-ICVEFG) method is presented for three-dimensional potential problems. Using the dimension splitting method, a three-dimensional potential problem is transformed into a series of two-dimensional ones which can be solved with the improved complex variable element-free Galerkin (ICVEFG) method. In the ICVEFG method for each two-dimensional problem, the improved complex variable moving least-square (ICVMLS) approximation is used to obtain the shape functions, and the penalty method is used to apply the essential boundary conditions. Finite difference method is used in the one-dimensional direction. And Galerkin weak form of three-dimensional potential problem is used to obtain the final discretized equations. Then the H-ICVEFG method for three-dimensional potential problems is presented. Four numerical examples are given to show that the new method has higher computational efficiency.
