Abstract
The perfectly matched layers (PMLs), as a boundary termination over an unbounded spatial domain, are widely used in numerical simulations of wave propagation problems. Given a set of discretization parameters, a procedure to select the PML profiles based on minimizing the discrete reflectivity is established for frequency domain simulations. We, by extending the function class and adopting a direct search method, improve the former procedure for traveling waves.
