These improved properties result from a combination of an appropriate choice of transmission conditions and a suitable approximation of the Magnetic-to-Electric operator. A convergence theorem of the algorithm is established and numerical results validating the new approach are presented.

Then, a limit model corresponding to small perfectly conducting scatterers is derived. This asymptotic model is used to prove the selective focusing properties of the time reversal operator. In particular, a mathematical justification of the DORT method (Decomposition of the Time Reversal Operator method) is given for axially symmetric scatterers.

Research paper thumbnail of Spectral and condition number estimates of the acoustic single-layer operator for low-frequency multiple scattering in dilute media

The obstacles are supposed to be distant (dilute media). In , it is shown that an approach based on the Gershgorin disks provides limited spectral information. We therefore introduce an alternative approach by applying the power iteration method to the limit matrix (associated with the zero order spatial modes) which results in satisfactory estimates. All these approximations are built for circular cylinders and formally extended to ellipses and rectangles for linear boundary element methods with non uniform meshes. This study is completed in by spectral estimates for the case of close obstacles.

More precisely, it deals with the construction of a cheap analytical preconditioner to enhance the iterative solving of this kind of equation. Detailed attention is paid to bring out the reasons that make this construction much more difficult than for closed surfaces. This preconditioner is carefully tested and compared to two more usual ones for twoand three-dimensional problems. It is shown that this preconditioner provides a cheap and efficient tool making reliable the iterative solving. The discussion also precisely brings out the issues where further studies are still needed to improve its efficiency.

The derivation is based mainly on the pseudo-differential calculus as well as on the introduction of a criterion providing a precise handling of the approximation process involved in the derivation of the radiation condition. The radiation condition then ranges among the most accurate of those of order two. As a by-product of the derivation, almost all known radiation conditions of order less than or equal to two are recovered and their respective accuracies are compared. ᮊ 1999 Academic Press

Research paper thumbnail of Analytic preconditioners for the electric field integral equation

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2004

A well-known fact is that the dense complex non-hermitian linear system associated to the EFIE becomes ill-conditioned especially in the high-frequency regime. As a consequence, this slows down the convergence rate of Krylov subspace iterative solvers. In this work, a new analytic preconditioner based on the combination of a finite element method with a local absorbing boundary condition is proposed to improve the convergence of the iterative solver for an open boundary. Some numerical tests precise the behaviour of the new preconditioner. Moreover, comparisons are performed with the analytic preconditioner based on the Calderòn's relations for integral equations for several kinds of scatterers.

Research paper thumbnail of On the Construction of Approximate Boundary Conditions for Solving the Interior Problem of the Acoustic Scattering Transmission Problem

Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering, 2005

The construction of accurate generalized impedance boundary conditions for the three-dimensional ... more The construction of accurate generalized impedance boundary conditions for the three-dimensional acoustic scattering problem by a homogeneous dissipative medium is analyzed. The technique relies on an explicit computation of the symbolic asymptotic expansion of the exact impedance operator in the interior domain. An efficient pseudolocalization of this operator based on Padé approximants is then proposed. The condition can be easily integrated in an iterative finite element solver without modifying its performances since the pseudolocal implementation preserves the sparse structure of the linear system. Numerical results are given to illustrate the method.

The Padé-type condition is easy-to-implement in a Galerkin least-squares (iterative) finite element solver for arbitrarily convex-shaped boundaries. The method accuracy is investigated for different model problems and for the scattering problem by a submarine-shaped scatterer. As a result, relatively small computational domains, optimized according to the shape of the scatterer, can be considered while yielding accurate computations for high-frequencies.

The accuracy of the new absorbing boundary conditions is investigated numerically for the computation of energies and ground-states for linear and nonlinear Schrödinger equations. It turns out that these absorbing boundary conditions and their variants lead to a higher accuracy than the usual Dirichlet boundary condition. Finally, we give the extension of these ABCs to N-dimensional stationary Schrödinger equations.
