Abstract

We consider high order methods for the one-dimensional Helmholtz equation and frequency-Maxwell system. We demand that the scheme be higher order even when the coefficients are discontinuous. We discuss the connection between schemes for the second-order scalar Helmholtz equation and the first-order system for the electromagnetic or acoustic applications.
