Title: Meshless methods using adaptive and symmetric kernels

Abstract: We consider the application of symmetric and adaptive kernels to moving least squares based meshless methods. We provide a technique for automatically constructing the kernel's adaptivity transformation. We demonstrate numerical experiments which verify their improved accuracy for irregular point distributions.
