ABSORBING BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL SCHRÖDINGER EQUATION WITH AN EXTERIOR POTENTIAL PART I: CONSTRUCTION AND A PRIORI ESTIMATES

Source abstract

The aim of this paper is to construct some classes of absorbing boundary conditions for the two-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a time and space varying exterior potential and for general convex smooth boundaries. The construction is based on asymptotics of the inhomogeneous pseudodifferential operators defining the related Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator. Furthermore, a priori estimates are developed for the truncated problems with various increasing order boundary conditions. The effective numerical approximation will be treated in a second paper.
