Abstract: We study the problem $-Deltau=gamma$, where $gamma$ is a singular measure, with support on a curve or a point. We prove that optimal rates of convergence for the finite element method can be obtained using properly graded meshes. In particular, we consider isotropic graded meshes when $gamma$ is a point Dirac delta, and anisotropic graded meshes when $gamma$ is a measure supported on a segment. Numerical experiments are shown that verify our results, and lead to interesting observations.
