In my study ı found the shape function but icant gon on my mroblem , for example ho can i create stiffnes matrix or global matrix or numerical integral with field note...(i am sorry about my englısh)
I think you can browsing his books in the reference section to find the papers which referred to the solid mathematical approach for or mathematical analysis of MRPI method. I hope this would be helpful.
Maybe http://alphard.ethz.ch/Hafner/Workshop/Kaufmann2008a.pdf is of interest for you? It is not a full paper, though.
Perhaps a look at the book "Meshfree Approximation Methods With MATLAB" by Fasshauer http://books.google.de/books?id=gtqBdMEqryEC is worthwhile as well.
