The method of optimal weighting functions for symmetric problems is described in a general form. It is based on a Petrov‐Galerkin formulation in which the best approximation property and other mathematical features are achieved for a chosen norm, different from the original ‘energy norm’ of the problem. The nonlocality of the weighting functions is shown to have only a minor effect on the efficiency of the method, although a localization scheme is also suggested. The method is applied to a one‐ and two‐dimensional singular perturbation problems, as well as to a cylindrical shell problem.
