In practical calculations, it is often essential to introduce artificial boundaries to limit the area of computation. Here we develop a systematic method for obtaining a hierarchy of local boundary conditions at these artifical boundaries. These boundary conditions not only guarantee stable difference approximations, but also minimize the (unphysical) artificial reflections that occur at the boundaries.
Keywords: artificial boundaries, numerical approximation
