Summary We consider the numerical solution of the boundary value problem (1) $$(1) Lu = k(y)u_{xx} + u_{yy} - c(x,y)u = f, u|_{\Gamma _0 \cup \Gamma _1 } = 0,$$ where $$k(y) \gtreqless 0$$ for $$y \gtreqless 0$$ Г 0 andГ 1 are parts of the boundary of a bounded simply connected regionG inR 2.G is bounded fory〉0 by a piecewise smooth curveГ 0 which intersects the liney=0 at the pointsA(−1,0) andB(0, 0). Fory〈0,G is bounded by a piecewise smooth curveГ 1 throughA, which meets the characteristic of (1) issued fromB at pointC, and by the curveГ 2 which consists of the portionCB of the characteristic throughB. Using a weak formulation based on different spaces of test and trial functions, we construct a Galerkin procedure for the above boundary value problem. Existence, uniqueness and uniform stability of an approximate solution is proven and a priori error bounds are given.
