Abstract
Optimized Schwarz methods (OS) use Robin or higher order transmission conditions instead of the classical Dirichlet ones. An optimal Schwarz method for a general second-order elliptic problem and a decomposition into strips was presented in [13]. Here optimality means that the method converges in a finite number of steps, and this was achieved by replacing in the transmission conditions the higher order operator by the subdomain exterior Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) maps. It is even possible to design an optimal Schwarz method that converges in two steps for an arbitrary decomposition and an arbitrary partial differential equation (PDE), see [6], but such algorithms are not practical, because the operators involved are highly non-local. Substantial research was therefore devoted to approximate these optimal transmission conditions, see for example the early reference [11], or the overview [5] which coined the term “optimized Schwarz method”, and references therein. In particular for the Helmholtz equation, Gander et al. [9] presents optimized second-order approximations of the DtN, Toselli [17] (improperly) and Schädle and Zschiedrich [14] (properly) tried for the first time using perfectly matched layers (PML, see [1]) to approximate the DtN in OS.
