Abstract
This paper describes the fundamental properties of new singular vector bases that incorporate the edge conditions in curved triangular elements. The bases are fully compatible with the interpolatory or hierarchical high-order regular vector bases used in adjacent elements. Several numerical results confirm the faster convergence of these bases on wedge problems and the capability to model regular fields when the singularity is not excited
