Abstract

HFFT is a software package for solving the Helmholtz equation on bounded two- and three-dimensional rectangular domains with Dirichlet, Neumann, or periodic boundary conditions. The software is the result of combining new fourth-order accurate compact finite difference (HODIE) discretizations and a fast-direct solution technique (the Fourier method). In this paper we briefly describe the user interface to HFFT and present an example of its usage and several details of its implementation.
