Title: Domain decomposition method derived from high-order absorbing boundary conditions for the Schroedinger equation

Abstract: We present a domain decomposition technique for solving the Schroedinger equation based on the "Schwarz waveform relaxation algorithm" [1-2], where the transmission conditions are derived from pseudo-differential absorbing boundary conditions for i) the linear Schroedinger equation with space- and time-dependent potential, and ii) the nonlinear Schroedinger equation [3-4]. This is joint work with X. Antoine and A. Bandrauk.
