Abstract

Recently, some absorbing boundary conditions for Schrödingertype equations have been studied by Fevens, Jiang and Alonso-Mallo, and Reguera. These conditions make it possible to obtain a very high absorption at the boundary avoiding the nonlocality of transparent boundary conditions. However, the implementations used in the literature, where the boundary condition is chosen in a manual way in accordance with the solution or fixed independently of the solution, are not practical because of the small absorption. In this paper, a new practical adaptive implementation is developed that allows us to obtain automatically a very high absorption.
