Abstract
To truncate an unbounded space, a variety of techniques have been proposed [1–3]. Figure 1 shows a diagram of a traditional finite computational domain. Apparently, the presence of the transition domain increases the computational cost in the solution of the fields within the subject domain. The popular Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) [4] provides a virtually reflection-free absorbing technique that makes it possible to reduce the thickness of the transition region. However, it still needs the additional domain to absorb the outward traveling waves.
