A comparison of transparent boundary conditions for the Fresnel equation (Q5936486)

The authors consider two numerical transparent boundary conditions that have been previously introduced in the literature,the first one proposed by \textit{V. A. Baskakov} and \textit{A. V. Popov} [Wave Motion 14, No. 2, 123-128 (1991; MR 92g:78001)] and by \textit{J. S. Papadakis, M. I. Taroudakis, P. J. Papadakis}, and \textit{B. Mayfield} [A new method for a realistic treatment of the sea bottom in the parabolic approximation, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 92, 2030 (1992)] and the second one is that of \textit{F. Schmidt} and \textit{P. Deuflhard} [Comput. Math. Appl. 29, No. 9, 53-76 (1995; Zbl 0821.65078)] and of \textit{F. Schmidt} and \textit{D. Yevick} [J. Comput. Phys. 134, No. 1, 96-107 (1997; Zbl 0878.65111)]. As the second scheme is unconditionaly stable,the authors present a new derivation of the second method. Some numerical results are presented.
