Linear continuous interior penalty finite element method for Helmholtz equation with high wave number: One-dimensional analysis (Q2821186)

The paper analyses the inhomogeneous one-dimensional Helmholtz equation in particular for large wave numbers. An \(H^1\)-conforming finite element method which penalizes jumps in the first derivatives across element boundaries is investigated. An a priori error estimate is proved, and via an additional dispersion analysis it is shown that a suitable choice of the penalisation parameter removes pollution effects.NEWLINENEWLINE Some numerical experiments illustrate the results. A short section on the two-dimensional case indicates similar properties also here.
