      It is known that partial differential equations on either infinite or semiinfinite domains arise in many applications, specifically, for problems that include magnetic fields. The analysis of these problems is connected with some difficulties. One of these is that the fields decay to zero but only decay algebraically depending on the dimension. To advoid these difficulties, \textit{J. P. Boyd} [J. Comput. Phys. 70, 63-88 (1987; Zbl 0614.42013)] has proposed a method that proceeds by mapping a semiinfinite interval to a finite interval. In this paper Boyd's approach is extended to use in the spectral element method to approximate partial differential equations on an infinite domain. The proposed methods all have drawbacks, including restrictions on the behavior of the approximation at infinity.
