Abstract
We consider the numerical solution of the Helmholtz equation in domains with one infinite cylindrical waveguide. Such problems exhibit wavenumbers on different scales in the vicinity of cut-off frequencies. This leads to performance issues for non-modal methods like the perfectly matched layer or the Hardy space infinite element method. To improve the latter, we propose a two scale Hardy space infinite element method which can be optimized for wavenumbers on two different scales. It is a tensor product Galerkin method and fits into existing analysis. Up to arbitrary small thresholds it converges exponentially with respect to the number of longitudinal unknowns in the waveguide. Numerical experiments support the theoretical error bounds.
