Abstract
This paper deals with a two-dimensional Poisson problem defined in a polygonal domain and having inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. A Galerking method for obtaining approximations using triangular finite elements is described. The situation when the exact solution contains a singularity at a re-entrant corner of the boundary is considered, and for this an O(h) bound on the error in the Galerkin approximation is derived.Keywords
