Abstract
An analytic solution for the elliptic boundary value problem with irre gular geometrical boundary region using Schwarz's alternating method i s presented. The application of the solution addresses to the physical problems of temperature distribution and heat Aux within homogeneous corners of buildings. A parametric analysis based on the general solut ion derives the concepts of ''significant length'' and ''coefficient o f equivalence'' that can be used in engineering designs.
