Abstract

We present an iterative solution method for the discrete high wavenumber Helmholtz equation. The basic idea of the solution method, already presented in [18], is to develop a preconditioner which is based on a Helmholtz operator with a complex-valued shift, for a Krylov subspace iterative method. The preconditioner, which can be seen as a strongly damped wave equation in Fourier space, can be approximately inverted by a multigrid method.
