Abstract:
The solution of elliptic boundary value problems often leads to singularities due to non-smoothness of the domains on which the problem is posed. This paper studies the performance of the nonconforming hp/spectral element method for elliptic problems on non smooth domains. This paper deals with monotone singularities of type and as well as the oscillating singularities of type
