Title: Domain Decomposition Methods for Solving The Helmholtz Problem by High-Order Finite Element Methods Authors: Youngjoon Cha and Seongjai Kim Abstract: An iterative domain decomposition method is considered for solving the Helmholtz wave equation by high-order quadrilateral finite element methods. The iteration is performed in a block Jacobi manner with a minimum overlap. For the interface operator, a Robin boundary condition is employed in a modified form which fits possible discontinuities of the normal components of the discrete flux on the subdomain interfaces. The algorithm is analyzed using energy estimates. Numerical results are given to show the effectiveness of the algorithm for the simulation of high-frequency waves in heterogeneous media in the two-dimensional space.
