Abstract: Let $Omega$ be an open, simply connected, and bounded region in $mathbb{R}^d$, $dgeq2$, and assume its boundary $partialOmega$ is smooth. Consider solving an elliptic partial differential equation $-Deltau+gammau=f$ over $Omega$ with a Neumann boundary condition. The problem is converted to an equivalent elliptic problem over the unit ball $B$, and then a spectral Galerkin method is used to create a convergent sequence of multivariate polynomials $u_n$ of degree $leqn$ that is convergent to $u$. The transformation from $Omega$ to $B$ requires a special analytical calculation for its implementation. With sufficiently smooth problem parameters, the method is shown to be rapidly convergent. For $uin{C}^{infty}(overlineOmega)$ and assuming $partialOmega$ is a $C^{infty}$ boundary, the convergence of $Vertu-u_{n}Ver{t}_{H^1}$ to zero is faster than any power of $1/n$. Numerical examples in $mathbb{R}^2$ and $mathbb{R}^3$ show experimentally an exponential rate of convergence.
