✦ Synopsis


The Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) Finite Element Method is a combined analytic-numerical method for boundary value problems in infinite domains. The use of this method is usually based on the assumption that, in the infinite domain D exterior to the finite computational domain, the governing differential equations are sufficiently simple. In particular, in D it is generally assumed that the equations are linear, homogeneous, and have constant coefficients. In this article, an extension of the DtN method is proposed, which can be applied to elliptic problems with ªirregularitiesº in the exterior domain D, such as (a) inhomogeneities, (b) variable coefficients, and (c) nonlinearities. This method is based on iterative ªregularizationº of the problem in D, and on the efficient treatment of infinite-domain integrals. Semi-infinite strip problems are used for illustrating the method. Convergence of the iterative process is analyzed both theoretically and numerically. Nonuniformity difficulties and a way to overcome them are discussed.

As a metaheuristic to obtain solutions of enhanced quality, we formulate the so-called pilot method. It is a tempered greedy method that is to avoid the greedy trap by looking ahead for each possible choice (memorizing the best result). Repeatedly, a so-called master solution is modified, each time
