Abstract

The conditioning and spectral properties of the mass and stiffness matrices for acoustic wave problems are here investigated when isogeometric analysis (IGA) collocation methods in space and Newmark methods in time are employed. Theoretical estimates and extensive numerical results are reported for the eigenvalues and condition numbers of the acoustic mass and stiffness matrices in the reference square domain with Dirichlet, Neumann, and absorbing boundary conditions. This study focuses in particular on the spectral dependence on the polynomial degree p, mesh size h, regularity k, of the IGA discretization and on the time step size Δt\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\Delta t$$\\end{document} and parameter β\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\beta $$\\end{document} of the Newmark method. Results on the sparsity of the matrices and the eigenvalue distribution with respect to the number of degrees of freedom d.o.f. and the number of nonzero entries nz are also reported. The results show that the spectral properties of the IGA collocation matrices are comparable with the available spectral estimates for IGA Galerkin matrices associated with the Poisson problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and in some cases, the IGA collocation results are better than the corresponding IGA Galerkin estimates, in particular for increasing p and maximal regularity k=p-1\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$k=p-1$$\\end{document}.
