Adaptive refinement for \(hp\)-version Trefftz discontinuous Galerkin methods for the homogeneous Helmholtz problem (Q2631990)

The authors develop an \(hp\)-adaptive refinement procedure for Trefftz discontinuous Galerkin methods for the homogeneous Helmholtz problem. The approach followed is based as usual on the combination of mesh subdivision (\(h\)-refinement) and on local basis enrichment (\(p\)-refinement). In addition to this, this approach incorporates local directional adaptivity, whereby the elementwise plane wave basis is aligned with the dominant scattering direction. Some numerical experiments are presented to highlight the efficiency of the proposed approach.
