A high-order compact scheme for the one-dimensional Helmholtz equation with a discontinuous coefficient

Abstract

In this paper, based on the idea of the immersed interface method, a fourth-order compact finite difference scheme is proposed for solving one-dimensional Helmholtz equation with discontinuous coefficient, jump conditions are given at the interface. The Dirichlet boundary condition and the Neumann boundary condition are considered. The Neumann boundary condition is treated with a fourth-order scheme. Numerical experiments are included to confirm the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
