Abstract

This paper is concerned with a 1D Schrödinger scattering problem involving both oscillatory and evanescent regimes, separated by jump discontinuities in the potential function, to avoid 'turning points'. We derive a non-overlapping domain decomposition method to split the original problem into sub-problems on these regions, both for the continuous and afterwards for the discrete problem. Further, a hybrid WKB-based numerical method is designed for its efficient and accurate solution in the semi-classical limit: a WKB-marching method for the oscillatory regions and a FEM with WKB-basis functions in the evanescent regions. We provide a complete error analysis of this hybrid method and illustrate our convergence results by numerical tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
