    The paper addresses the solution of the 2-D Helmholtz equation by finite element discretizations with the application of substructure concepts. Banded elimination is used on statically-condensed equations for the subdomain boundary nodal points. This is combined with fast eigenfunction solutions for the decoupled subdomain problems. A minimization of the computational work with respect to the degree of domain subdivision (rectangular domains) reveals an order-independent optimal operation count of \(O(N^{5/2})\) for an \(N\times N\) grid.
