Abstract
We propose a practical tool for evaluating and comparing the accuracy of FDMs for the Helmholtz equation. The tool based on Fourier analysis makes it easy to find wavenumber explicit order of convergence, and can be used for rigorous proof. It fills in the gap between the dispersion analysis and the actual error with source term. We illustrate it for classical and some dispersion free schemes in 1D, with conclusions verified by numerical experiments.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Applied Mathematics Letters is to provide a means of rapid publication for important but brief applied mathematical papers. The brief descriptions of any work involving a novel application or utilization of mathematics, or a development in the methodology of applied mathematics is a potential contribution for this journal. This journal''s focus is on applied mathematics topics based on differential equations and linear algebra. Priority will be given to submissions that are likely to appeal to a wide audience.
