Abstract:
 In a polygonal domain, the solution of a linear elliptic problem is written
 as a sum of a regular part and a linear combination of singular functions
 multiplied by appropriate coefficients. For computing the leading singularity
 coefficient we use the dual method which based on the first singular dual 
 function.  Our aim in this paper is the approximation of this leading 
 singularity   coefficient by spectral element method which relies on the 
 mortar decomposition  domain technics.  We prove an optimal error estimate 
 between the continuous and the discrete singularity coefficient. 
 We present numerical experiments which are in perfect coherence with the analysis.
