In this paper we present a robust Robin−Robin domain decomposition (DD) method for the Helmholtz equation with high wave number. Through choosing suitable Robin parameters on different subdomains and introducing a new relaxation parameter, we prove that the new DD method is robust, which means the convergence rate is independent of the wave number k for kh = constant and the mesh size h for fixed k. To the best of our knowledge, from the theoretical point of view, this is a first attempt to design a robust DD method for the Helmholtz equation with high wave number in the literature. Numerical results which confirm our theory are given.
