We solve first-kind Fredholm boundary integral equations arising from Helmholtz and Laplace problems on bounded, smooth screens in three-dimensions with either Dirichlet or Neumann conditions. The proposed Galerkin-Bubnov method takes as discretization elements pushed-forward weighted azimuthal projections of standard spherical harmonics onto the canonical disk. We show that these bases allow for spectral convergence and provide fully discrete error analysis. Numerical experiments support our claims, with results comparable to Nyström-type and $hp$-methods.
The hybrid Raviart-Thomas mixed discontinuous Galerkin (HRTMDG) method is proposed for solving the Helmholtz equation. With a new energy norm, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the HRTMDG method, and give its convergence analysis. The corresponding error estimate shows that the HRTMDG method has an optimal $L^2$-norm convergence accuracy which is independent of wavenumber.
In this paper we are concerned with plane wave discontinuous Galerkin (PWDG) methods for Helmholtz equation and time-harmonic Maxwell equations in three-dimensional anisotropic media, for which the coefficients of the equations are matrices instead of numbers. We first define novel plane wave basis functions based on rigorous choices of scaling transformations and coordinate transformations. Then we derive the error estimates of the resulting approximate solutions with respect to the condition number of the coefficient matrices, under a new assumption on the shape regularity of polyhedral mesh…

The simulation of high-dimensional problems with manageable computational resource represents a long-standing challenge. In a series of our recent work [25, 17, 18, 24], a class of sparse grid DG methods has been formulated for solving various types of partial differential equations in high dimensions. By making use of the multiwavelet tensor-product bases on sparse grids in conjunction with the standard DG weak formulation, such a novel method is able to significantly reduce the computation and storage cost compared with full grid DG counterpart, while not compromising accuracy much for suffi…
This paper addresses several aspects of the linear Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin Method (HDG) for the Helmholtz equation with impedance boundary condition at high frequency. First, error estimates with explicit dependence on the wave number $k$ for the HDG approximations to the exact solution $u$ and its negative gradient $\mathbf{q}=-\nabla u$ are derived. It is shown that $k\Vert u - u_h \Vert_{L^2(Ω)} + \Vert \mathbf{q} -\mathbf{q}_h \Vert_{L^2(Ω)} = O(k^2h^2+k^4h^3)$ under the conditions that $k^3h^2$ is sufficiently small and that the penalty parameter $τ\eqsim k$, where $h$ is the …
This paper analyses the following question: let $\mathbf{A}_j$, $j=1,2,$ be the Galerkin matrices corresponding to finite-element discretisations of the exterior Dirichlet problem for the heterogeneous Helmholtz equations $\nabla\cdot (A_j \nabla u_j) + k^2 n_j u_j= -f$. How small must $\|A_1 -A_2\|_{L^q}$ and $\|{n_1} - {n_2}\|_{L^q}$ be (in terms of $k$-dependence) for GMRES applied to either $(\mathbf{A}_1)^{-1}\mathbf{A}_2$ or $\mathbf{A}_2(\mathbf{A}_1)^{-1}$ to converge in a $k$-independent number of iterations for arbitrarily large $k$? (In other words, for $\mathbf{A}_1$ to be a good l…
We present a survey of the nonconforming Trefftz virtual element method for the Laplace and Helmholtz equations. For the latter, we present a new abstract analysis, based on weaker assumptions on the stabilization, and numerical results on the dispersion analysis, including comparison with the plane wave discontinuous Galerkin method.
The technique of complex scaling for time harmonic wave type equations relies on a complex coordinate stretching to generate exponentially decaying solutions. In this work, we use a Galerkin method with ansatz functions with infinite support to discretize complex scaled Helmholtz resonance problems. We show that the approximation error of the method decays super algebraically with respect to the number of unknowns in radial direction. Numerical examples underline the theoretical findings and show the superior efficiency of our method compared to a standard perfectly matched layer method.

Numerical resolution of exterior Helmholtz problems requires some approach to domain truncation. As an alternative to approximate nonreflecting boundary conditions and invocation of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, we introduce a new, nonlocal boundary condition. This condition is exact and requires the evaluation of layer potentials involving the free space Green's function. However, it seems to work in general unstructured geometry, and Galerkin finite element discretization leads to convergence under the usual mesh constraints imposed by Gårding-type inequalities. The nonlocal boundary conditi…
In this paper, we consider low-rank approximations for the solutions to the stochastic Helmholtz equation with random coefficients. A Stochastic Galerkin finite element method is used for the discretization of the Helmholtz problem. Existence theory for the low-rank approximation is established when the system matrix is indefinite. The low-rank algorithm does not require the construction of a large system matrix which results in an advantage in terms of CPU time and storage. Numerical results show that, when the operations in a low-rank method are performed efficiently, it is possible to obtai…
We develop a deep learning approach to extract ray directions at discrete locations by analyzing highly oscillatory wave fields. A deep neural network is trained on a set of local plane-wave fields to predict ray directions at discrete locations. The resulting deep neural network is then applied to a reduced-frequency Helmholtz solution to extract the directions, which are further incorporated into a ray-based interior-penalty discontinuous Galerkin (IPDG) method to solve the Helmholtz equations at higher frequencies. In this way, we observe no apparent pollution effects in the resulting Helmh…
We present a fast spectral Galerkin scheme for the discretization of boundary integral equations arising from two-dimensional Helmholtz transmission problems in multi-layered periodic structures or gratings. Employing suitably parametrized Fourier basis and excluding Rayleigh-Wood anomalies, we rigorously establish the well-posedness of both continuous and discrete problems, and prove super-algebraic error convergence rates for the proposed scheme. Through several numerical examples, we confirm our findings and show performances competitive to those attained via Nyström methods.

A convergence theory for the $hp$-FEM applied to a variety of constant-coefficient Helmholtz problems was pioneered in the papers [Melenk-Sauter, 2010], [Melenk-Sauter, 2011], [Esterhazy-Melenk, 2012], [Melenk-Parsania-Sauter, 2013]. This theory shows that, if the solution operator is bounded polynomially in the wavenumber $k$, then the Galerkin method is quasioptimal provided that $hk/p \leq C_1$ and $p\geq C_2 \log k$, where $C_1$ is sufficiently small, $C_2$ is sufficiently large, and both are independent of $k,h,$ and $p$. The significance of this result is that if $hk/p= C_1$ and $p=C_2\l…
We study the unique solvability of the discretized Helmholtz problem with Robin boundary conditions using a conforming Galerkin $hp$-finite element method. Well-posedness of the discrete equations is typically investigated by applying a compact perturbation to the continuous Helmholtz problem so that a "sufficiently rich" discretization results in a "sufficiently small" perturbation of the continuous problem and well-posedness is inherited via Fredholm's alternative. The qualitative notion "sufficiently rich", however, involves unknown constants and is only of asymptotic nature. Our paper is f…
Approximate solutions to elliptic partial differential equations with known kernel can be obtained via the boundary element method (BEM) by discretizing the corresponding boundary integral operators and solving the resulting linear system of algebraic equations. Due to the presence of singular and hypersingular integrals, the evaluation of the operator matrix entries requires the use of regularization techniques. In this work, the singular and hypersingular integrals associated with first-order Galerkin discrete boundary operators for the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation are reduced to quasi…
