Abstract

The paper proposes a collocation method to solve bivariate elliptic partial differential equations. The method uses Lagrange approximation based on Sinc point collocations. The proposed approximation is collocating on non-equidistant interpolation points generated by conformal maps, called Sinc points. We prove the upper bound of the error for the bivariate Lagrange approximation at these Sinc points. Then we define a collocation algorithm using this approximation to solve elliptic PDEs. We verify the Poly-Sinc technique for different elliptic equations and compare the approximate solutions with exact solutions.
