The Method of Difference Potentials for the Helmholtz Equation Using Compact High Order Schemes

The method of difference potentials was originally proposed by Ryaben’kii and can be interpreted as a generalized discrete version of the method of Calderon’s operators in the theory of partial differential equations. It has a number of important advantages; it easily handles curvilinear boundaries, variable coefficients, and non-standard boundary conditions while keeping the complexity at the ...

High Order Compact Finite Difference Schemes for the Helmholtz Equation with Discontinuous Coefficients

In this paper, thirdand fourth-order compact finite difference schemes are proposed for solving Helmholtz equations with discontinuous media along straight interfaces in two space dimensions. To keep the compactness of the finite difference schemes and get global high order schemes, even at the interface where the wave number is discontinuous, the idea of the immersed interface method is employ...

Compact 2D and 3D sixth order schemes for the Helmholtz equation with variable wave number

Several studies have presented compact fourth order accurate finite difference approximation for the Helmholtz equation in two or three dimensions. Several of these formulae allow for the wave number k to be variable. Other papers have extended this further to include variable coefficients within the Laplacian which models non-homogeneous materials in electromagnetism. Later papers considered m...

High Order Compact Finite Difference Schemes for Solving Bratu-Type Equations

In the present study, high order compact finite difference methods is used to solve one-dimensional Bratu-type equations numerically. The convergence analysis of the methods is discussed and it is shown that the theoretical order of the method is consistent with its numerical rate of convergence. The maximum absolute errors in the solution at grid points are calculated and it is shown that the ...
