Observability estimates for the Schrödinger equation on the equilateral triangle

Paul Alphonse, David Lafontaine

We prove observability estimates for the Schrödinger equation posed on the equilateral triangle in the plane, under both Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions. No geometric con…

Scattering for defocusing cubic NLS under locally damped strong trapping

David Lafontaine, Boris Shakarov

We are interested in the scattering problem for the cubic 3D nonlinear defocusing Schrödinger equation with variable coefficients. Previous scattering results for such problems add…

Schwarz methods with PMLs for Helmholtz problems: fast convergence at high frequency

Jeffrey Galkowski, Shihua Gong, Ivan G. Graham +2

We discuss parallel (additive) and sequential (multiplicative) variants of overlapping Schwarz methods for the Helmholtz equation in , with large real wavenumber and…

Convergence of overlapping domain decomposition methods with PML transmission conditions applied to nontrapping Helmholtz problems

Jeffrey Galkowski, Shihua Gong, Ivan G. Graham +2

We study overlapping Schwarz methods for the Helmholtz equation posed in any dimension with large, real wavenumber and smooth variable wave speed. The radiation condition is approx…

Sharp bounds on Helmholtz impedance-to-impedance maps and application to overlapping domain decomposition

David Lafontaine, Euan A. Spence

We prove sharp bounds on certain impedance-to-impedance maps (and their compositions) for the Helmholtz equation with large wavenumber (i.e., at high-frequency) using semiclassical…

The -FEM applied to the Helmholtz equation with PML truncation does not suffer from the pollution effect

Jeffrey Galkowski, David Lafontaine, Euan A. Spence +1

We consider approximation of the variable-coefficient Helmholtz equation in the exterior of a Dirichlet obstacle using perfectly-matched-layer (PML) truncation; it is well known th…

Convergence of parallel overlapping domain decomposition methods for the Helmholtz equation

Shihua Gong, Martin J. Gander, Ivan G. Graham +2

We analyse parallel overlapping Schwarz domain decomposition methods for the Helmholtz equation, where the subdomain problems satisfy first-order absorbing (impedance) transmission…

Perfectly-matched-layer truncation is exponentially accurate at high frequency

Jeffrey Galkowski, David Lafontaine, Euan A. Spence

We consider a wide variety of scattering problems including scattering by Dirichlet, Neumann, and penetrable obstacles. We consider a radial perfectly-matched layer (PML) and show…

Local absorbing boundary conditions on fixed domains give order-one errors for high-frequency waves

Jeffrey Galkowski, David Lafontaine, Euan A. Spence

We consider approximating the solution of the Helmholtz exterior Dirichlet problem for a nontrapping obstacle, with boundary data coming from plane-wave incidence, by the solution…

A sharp relative-error bound for the Helmholtz -FEM at high frequency

David Lafontaine, Euan A. Spence, Jared Wunsch

For the -finite-element method (-FEM) applied to the Helmholtz equation, the question of how quickly the meshwidth must decrease with the frequency to maintain accura…

For most frequencies, strong trapping has a weak effect in frequency-domain scattering

David Lafontaine, Euan A. Spence, Jared Wunsch

It is well known that when the geometry and/or coefficients allow stable trapped rays, the outgoing solution operator of the Helmholtz equation (a.k.a. the resolvent of the Laplaci…
