Abstract:
In practical calculations, it is often essential to introduce artificial boundaries to limit the area of computation. Here we develop a systematic method for obtaining a hierarchy of local boundary conditions at these artificial boundaries. These boundary conditions not only guarantee stable difference approximations but also minimize the (unphysical) artificial reflections which occur at the boundaries.References
