New preconditioners for Laplace and Helmholtz integral equations on open curves: Analytical framework and Numerical results (1905.13602v3)
Published 31 May 2019 in math.NA, cs.NA, and math.AP
Abstract: The Helmholtz wave scattering problem by screens in 2D can be recast into first-kind integral equations which lead to ill-conditioned linear systems after discretization. We introduce two new preconditioners, in the form of square-roots of local operators respectively for the corresponding problems with Dirichlet and Neumann conditions on the arc. They generalize the so-called "analytical" preconditioners available for Lipschitz scatterers. We introduce a functional setting adapted to the singularity of the problem and enabling the analysis of those preconditioners. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated on several numerical examples.
