• In this paper we apply the newly developed method of particular solutions (MPS) and one-stage method of fundamental solutions (MFS-MPS) for solving fourth-order partial differential equations. We also compare the numerical results of these two methods to the popular Kansa's method. Numerical results in the 2D and the 3D show that the MFS-MPS outperformed the MPS and Kansa's method. However, the MPS and Kansa's method are easier in terms of implementation.
