Review text

The first boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation \(\nabla^ 2\psi(x)+k^ 2\psi(x)=0\) is studied in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions where \(\psi\) is a complex-valued scalar function and \(k\) is the complex-valued wavenumber. The system of linear equations, obtained by use of the Galerkin method, is solved by two conjugate direction methods: Conjugate gradient squared and Orthomin. A lot of experiments concerning to the convergence are made; the convergence behaviour is characterized in terms of two dimensionless parameters \(k\Delta x\) and \(n\) where \(n\) is the algebraic size of the system of linear equations.
