An optimal compact sixth-order finite difference scheme for the Helmholtz equation

摘要

In this paper, we present an optimal compact finite difference scheme for solving the 2D Helmholtz equation. A convergence analysis is given to show that the scheme is sixth-order in accuracy. Based on minimizing the numerical dispersion, a refined optimization rule for choosing the scheme's weight parameters is proposed. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the compact finite difference scheme with refined parameters. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
