Towards accuracy and scalability: Combining Isogeometric Analysis with deflation to obtain scalable convergence for the Helmholtz equation

Finding fast yet accurate numerical solutions to the Helmholtz equation remains a challenging task. The pollution error (i.e. the discrepancy between the numerical and analytical wave number k) requires the mesh resolution to be kept fine enough to obtain accurate solutions. A recent study showed that the use of Isogeometric Analysis (IgA)...
