This paper is concerned with the convergence of Rayleigh-Ritz approximations to the solution of an elliptic boundary value problem. Although the work arose in connection with the aerofoil problem (and it is to this problem that the results obtained are immediately applied), the methods here employed are suitable for use on the wider class of problem mentioned above.
