Almost all materials are anisotropic. In this paper, interface relations of anisotropic elliptic partial differential equations involving discontinuities across interfaces are derived in two and three dimensions. Compared with isotropic cases, the invariance of partial differential equations and the jump conditions under orthogonal coordinates transformation is not valid anymore. A systematic approach to derive the interface relations is established in this paper for anisotropic elliptic interface problems, which can be important for deriving high order accurate numerical methods.
