Summary: | We consider the Helmholtz equation and the fractional Laplacian in the case of the complex-valued unbounded variable coefficient wave number <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>μ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>, approximated by finite differences. In a recent analysis, singular value clustering and eigenvalue clustering have been proposed for a <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>τ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> preconditioning when the variable coefficient wave number <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>μ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> is uniformly bounded. Here, we extend the analysis to the unbounded case by focusing on the case of a power singularity. Several numerical experiments concerning the spectral behavior and convergence of the related preconditioned GMRES are presented.
