Quasi-local transmission conditions for non-overlapping domain decomposition methods for the Helmholtz equation

In this article, we present new transmission conditions for a domain decomposition method, applied to a scattering problem. Unlike other conditions used in the literature, the conditions developed here are non-local, but can be written as an integral operator (as a Riesz potential) on the interface between two domains. This operator, of order View the MathML source12, leads to an exponential convergence of the domain decomposition algorithm. A spectral analysis of the influence of the operator on simple cases is presented, as well as some numerical results and comparisons.
