Abstract

In this paper, the orthogonal spline collocation method (OSCM) is employed to address the solution of
the Helmholtz equation in two-dimensional problems. It is characterized by discontinuous coefficients
with certain wave numbers. The solution is approximated by employing distinct basis functions
namely, monomial along the x-direction and Hermite along the y-direction. Additionally, to solve the
two-dimensional problems efficiently in the sense of computational cost with less operation counts,
matrix decomposition algorithm (MDA) is used to convert it into a set of one-dimensional problems.
As a consequence, the resulting reduced matrix becomes non-singular in discrete cases. To assess the
performance of the proposed numerical scheme, a grid refinement analysis is conducted to incorporate
various wave coefficients of the Helmholtz equation. The illustrations and examples demonstrate a
higher order of convergence compared to existing methods.
