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...
