The authors presented a new finite element scheme for the numerical solution of a triangular decomposition of the following boundary problem: \[ \begin{cases} \text{Find } u\in H^{1}(\Omega) \text{ such that}\\ L(u)=-\text{div }\underline{J}(u)=R, &\text{in }\Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}}^{2},\\ \underline{J}(u)=\mu (\underline{\nabla}u- u\underline{\nabla}\psi),\\ u=\gamma, &\text{on }\Gamma _0\subseteq \Gamma,\\ \underline{J}(u)\cdot \underline{n}=0, &\text{on }\Gamma _{1}=\Gamma \setminus \Gamma _{0}, \end{cases} \] where \(\Omega \) is an open bounded set of \({\mathbb R}^{2}\) with a Lipschitz continuous boundary \(\Gamma \) and an outward oriented normal unit vector \( \underline{n}.\) In most application \(\Omega \) is typically a rectangle and the boundary conditions are respectively imposed. In the present article the authors work with a Galerkin finite element method using a suitable trial space of approximate L-splines, a new family of Petrov-Galerkin finite element methods on triangles is devised for singularly perturbed elliptic problems in two dimensions. The motivation of the method is explained and the construction of the finite element space and its basic properties are discussed. The resulting method is nonconforming over the hole domain \(\overline{\Omega}\).
