Abstract
To solve the time-dependent wave equation in an infinite two (three) dimensional domain a circular (spherical) artificial boundary is introduced to restrict the computational domain. To determine the nonreflecting boundary we solve the exterior Dirichlet problem which involves the inverse Fourier transform. The truncation of the continued fraction representation of the ratio of Hankel function, that appear in the inverse Fourier transform, provides a stable and numerically accurate approximation. Consequently, there is a sequence of boundary conditions in both two and three dimensions that are new. Furthermore, only the first derivatives in space and time appear and the coefficients are updated in a simple way from the previous time step. The accuracy of the boundary conditions is illustrated using a point source and the finite difference solution to a Dirichlet problem.
