Abstract

Various domain decompositionmethods have been proposed for the Helmholtz equation, with the Optimized Schwarz Method (OSM) being one of them (see e.g. [7] for a review of various domain decomposition methods, and [3] for the details of OSM). In this paper, we focus on OSM, which is based on the idea of using approximated half-space Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) maps to improve the convergence of the Schwarz methods; current version of the OSM is based on polynomial approximation of the half-space DtN map. See [8] for a review of various approaches to approximating the half-space DtN map (more commonly referred to as Absorbing Boundary Conditions (ABCs)).
