Abstract :
A far-reaching generalization of the finite-element method (FEM), the method of partition of unity on overlapping patches, is applied, as an illustrative example, to a waveguide problem. No structured FEM-like meshes are required; the patches can have arbitrary shapes, can overlap arbitrarily and each patch may have its own system of approximating functions reflecting the local behavior of the solution
