Abstract: Let $\Omega$ be an open, simply connected, and bounded region in$\mathbb{R}^{d}$, $d\geq2$, and assume its boundary $\partial\Omega$ is smooth.Consider solving an elliptic partial differential equation $-\Delta u+\gammau=f$ over $\Omega$ with a Neumann boundary condition. The problem is convertedto an equivalent elliptic problem over the unit ball $B$, and then a spectralGalerkin method is used to create a convergent sequence of multivariatepolynomials $u {n}$ of degree $\leq n$ that is convergent to $u$. Thetransformation from $\Omega$ to $B$ requires a special analytical calculationfor its implementation. With sufficiently smooth problem parameters, the methodis shown to be rapidly convergent. For $u\in C^{\infty}\overline{\Omega}$and assuming $\partial\Omega$ is a $C^{\infty}$ boundary, the convergence of$\Vert u-u {n}\Vert {H^{1}}$ to zero is faster than any power of $1-n$.Numerical examples in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ and $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ show experimentallyan exponential rate of convergence.
