Abstract
We show that the complex absorbing potential (CAP) method for computing scattering resonances applies to an abstractly defined class of black box perturbations of the Laplacian in \({{\mathbb {R}}}^n\) which can be analytically extended from \({{\mathbb {R}}}^n\) to a conic neighborhood in \({{\mathbb {C}}}^n\) near infinity. The black box setting allows a unifying treatment of diverse problems ranging from obstacle scattering to scattering on finite volume surfaces.
