## Abstract Recently BabusΜkaβOh introduced the method of auxiliary mapping (MAM) which efficiently handles elliptic boundary value problems containing singularities. In this paper, a special weighted residue method, the Weighted RitzβGalerkin Method (WRGM), is investigated by introducing special w

β¦ Synopsis
The finite element (FE) solutions of a general elliptic equation -div([a ij ] β’ βu) + u = f in an exterior domain , which is the complement of a bounded subset of R 3 , is considered. The most common approach to deal with exterior domain problems is truncating an unbounded subdomain β , so that the remaining part B = \ Β― β is bounded, and imposing an artificial boundary condition on the resulted artificial boundary a = Β― β β© Β― B . In this article, instead of discarding an unbounded subdomain β and introducing an artificial boundary condition, the unbounded domain is mapped to a unit ball by an auxiliary mapping. Then, a similar technique to the method of auxiliary mapping, introduced by BabuΕ‘ka and Oh for handling the domain singularities, is applied to obtain an accurate FE solution of this problem at low cost. This method thus does have neither artificial boundary nor any restrictions on f .

An iterative procedure is described for the finite-element solution of scalar scattering problems in unbounded domains. The scattering objects may have multiple connectivity, may be of different materials or with different boundary conditions. A fictitious boundary enclosing all the objects involved
## Abstract This paper compares three methods for dealing with an exterior boundary value problem by the Finite Element Method, one of which involves using an infinite element. The methods are illustrated by application to the problem of ground water flow round a tunnel with permeable invert. The u
We formulate a higher-order (superconvergent) Petrov-Galerkin method by determining, using a finitedifference approximation, the optimal selection of quadratic and cubic modifications to the standard linear test function for bilinear elements. Application of this method to linear elliptic problems r
