Summary

A recently developed multidimensional formulation of the Tau Method is applied to the numerical approximation of a model singular boundary value problem defined by Laplace’s equation in L-shaped domains. Singularity treatment in the context of the Tau Method is discussed and the singular parameters are computed with a high accuracy. A brief sketch of recent formulations of the Tau Method is given in this paper and also extensive references to the most recent literature on it.
