Hybrid absorbing boundary conditions of PML and CRBC

In this paper we introduce a hybrid absorbing boundary condition (HABC) by combining perfectly matched layer (PML) and complete radiation boundary condition (CRBC) for solving a one-dimensional diffraction grating problem. The new boundary condition is devised in such a way that it can enjoy relative advantages from both methods. The well-posedness of the problem with HABC and the convergence of approximate solutions will be analyzed. Numerical examples to illustrate the efficiency of HABC are also presented.
