Abstract: Several boundary value problems are dened on complex shaped domains, such as pentagonal, circular, L-shaped, butter y, peanut-shaped and elliptic domains. These irregular domains give diculty in term of solving both analytically and numerically. This paper devises the nite integration method via Chebyshev polynomials (FIM-CBS) to deduce the ecient numerical scheme for solving two-dimensional nonlinear Poisson equations over these irregular domains with the discretization through Chebyshev nodes. The demonstrative numerical examples are provided. The numerical solutions by the FIM-CBS are compared with the analytical solutions. The results show that the proposed method is very eective and accurate with a small number of computational nodes.
