Theoretical aspects of the application of convolution quadrature to scattering of acoustic waves (Q2391124): Difference between revisions

The authors address several theoretical questions related to the numerical approximation of the scattering of acoustic waves in two or three dimensions by penetrable non-homogeneous obstacles using convolution quadrature (CQ) techniques for the time variable and coupled boundary element method/finite element method for the space variable. The application of CQ to waves requires polynomial type bounds for operators related to the operator \(\Delta-s^2\) in the right half complex plane. They propose a new systematic way of dealing with this problem, both at the continuous and semidiscrete-in-space cases and apply the technique to three different situations: scattering by a group of sound-soft and - hard obstacles, by homogeneous and non-homogeneous obstacles.
