The methods are formulated in terms of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) and Neumann-to-Dirichlet (NtD) surface integral operators. They are adapted from the DtN and NtD methods for bound states of the Schrodinger equation in R^3. A variational principle that enables the usage of the operators is constructed. The variational principle allows the use of discontinuous (in values or derivatives) trial functions. A numerical example presenting the usefulness of the DtN and NtD methods is given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-02-25T14:43:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Jxx" ], "keywords": [ "helmholtz equation", "neumann-to-dirichlet methods", "dirichlet-to-neumann", "variational principle", "ntd methods" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1102.5259B" } } }
