Convergence of infinite element methods for scalar waveguide problems
It offers rigorous error analysis for waveguide problems, which is important for computational electromagnetics and acoustics, but the contribution is incremental as it unifies existing methods.
The paper provides a unified convergence analysis of PML and Hardy space infinite element methods for scalar waveguide problems, with theoretical error bounds validated by numerical experiments.
We consider the numerical solution of scalar wave equations in domains which are the union of a bounded domain and a finite number of infinite cylindrical waveguides. The aim of this paper is to provide a new convergence analysis of both the Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) method and the Hardy space infinite element method in a unified framework. We treat both diffraction and resonance problems. The theoretical error bounds are compared with errors in numerical experiments.
