We analyse parallel overlapping Schwarz domain decomposition methods for the Helmholtz equation, where the subdomain problems satisfy first-order absorbing (impedance) transmission conditions, and exchange of information between subdomains is achieved using a partition of unity. We provide a novel analysis of this method at the PDE level (without discretization). First, we formulate the method as a fixed point iteration, and show (in dimensions 1,2,3) that it is welldefined in a tensor product…

The theory developed here shows that if the absorption is large enough, and if the subdomain and coarse mesh diameters and overlap are chosen appropriately, then the classical two-level overlapping Additive Schwarz preconditioner performs optimally -- in the sense that GMRES converges in a wavenumber-independent number of iterations -- for the problem with absorption.

This work proposes a new treatment of the cross-point issue for the Helmholtz equation that remains valid in any geometrical interface configuration and develops a complete theoretical framework that generalizes classical OSM to partitions with cross points and contains a rigorous proof of geometric convergence, uniform with respect to the mesh discretization, for appropriate positive impedance operators.
