A FINITE ELEMENT METHOD USING SINGULAR FUNCTIONS FOR HELMHOLTZ EQUATIONS: PART I

In [7, 8], they proposed a new singular function(NSF) method to compute singular solutions of Poisson equations on a polygonal domain with re-entrant angles. Singularities are eliminated and only the regular part of the solution that is in $H^2$ is computed. The stress intensity factor and the solution can be computed as a post processing step. This method was extended to the interface problem and Poisson equations with the mixed boundary condition. In this paper, we give NSF method for the Helmholtz equations ${\Delta}u+Ku=f$ with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. Examples with a singular point are given with numerical results.
