We propose, on a model case, a new approach to classical results obtained by V. A. Kondrat'ev (1967), P. Grisvard (1972), (1985), H. Blum and R. Rannacher (1980), V. G. Maz'ya (1980), (1984), (1992), S. Nicaise (1994a), (1994b), (1994c), M. Dauge (1988), (1990), (1993a), (1993b), A. Tami (2016), and others, describing the singularities of solutions of an elliptic problem on a polygonal domain of the plane that may appear near a corner. It provides a more precise description of how the solutions...

We consider a biharmonic problem ${\Delta }^2{u}_{\omega }=f_{\omega }$ with Navier type boundary conditions $u_{\omega }=\Delta u_{\omega }=0$, on a family of truncated sectors ${\Omega }_{\omega }$ in ${ℝ}^2$ of radius $r$, $0<r<1$ and opening angle $\omega$, $\omega \in (2\pi /3,\pi ]$ when $\omega$ is close to $\pi$. The family of right-hand sides ${\left(f_{\omega }\right)}_{\omega \in (2\pi /3,\pi ]}$ is assumed to depend smoothly on $\omega$ in $L^2\left({\Omega }_{\omega }\right)$. The main result is that $u_{\omega }$ converges to $u_{\pi }$ when $\omega \to \pi$ with respect to the $H^2$-norm. We can also show that the $H^2$-topology is optimal for such a convergence result.
