Pathria, D.; Karniadakis, G. E. Spectral element methods for elliptic problems in nonsmooth domains. (English) Zbl 0844.65082 J. Comput. Phys. 122, No. 1, 83-95 (1995). The authors discuss numerical solution of elliptic boundary value problems in irregularly shaped domains in the plane. They partition the region in a set of several blocks; each block is transformed to the unit space by a smooth or isoparametric mapping. Numerical examples are related to the Laplace, Poisson, and Helmholtz equations.
