Abstract

We study the resolvent for nontrapping obstacles on manifolds with Euclidean ends. It is well known that for such manifolds the outgoing resolvent satisfies ∥ ∥ χ R ( k ) χ ∥ L 2 → L 2 ≤ C k − 1 for k > 1 , but the constant C has been little studied. We show that, for high frequencies, the constant is bounded above by 2 π times the length of the longest generalized bicharacteristic of ∣ ∣ ξ ∣ ∣ 2 g − 1 remaining in the support of χ . We show that this estimate is optimal in the case of manifolds without boundary. We then explore the implications of this result for the numerical analysis of the Helmholtz equation.
