Title: Optimal damping profile ratios for stabilization of perfectly matched layers in general anisotropic media

Abstract

Conventional perfectly matched layers (PML) can be unstable for certain kinds of anisotropic media. Multi-axial PML removes such instability using nonzero damping coe cients in the directions tangential with the PML interface. While using non-zero damping pro le ratios can stabilize PML, it is important to obtain the smallest possible damping pro le ratios to minimize arti cial re ections caused by these non-zero ratios, particularly for 3D general anisotropic media. Using the eigenvectors of the PML system matrix, we develop a straightforward and e cient numerical algorithm to determine the optimal damping pro le ratios to stabilize PML in 2D and 3D general anisotropic media. Numerical examples show that our algorithm provides optimal damping pro le ratios to ensure the stability of PML and complex-frequency-shifted PML for elastic-wave modeling in 2D and 3D general anisotropic media.
