Abstract

Laplace- and Helmholtz-type boundary value problems with singularities are considered. A sequence of approximations to the exact boundary conditions at an artificial boundary is given. Then the original problem is reduced to a boundary value problem in a domain away from the singularities. Furthermore, finite-element approximations are applied to this problem and error estimates are obtained. Finally, some numerical examples show the effectiveness of this method.
