It is well known that classical finite elements or finite difference methods for Helmholtz problem present pollution effects that can severely deteriorate the quality of the approximate solution. To control pollution effects is especially difficult on non uniform meshes. For uniform meshes of square elements pollution effects can be minimized with the Quasi Stabilized Finite Element Method (QSFEM) proposed by Babus\v ska el al, for example. In the present work we initially present two relatively simple Petrov-Galerkin finite element methods, referred here as RPPG (Reduced Pollution Petrov-Galerkin) and QSPG (Quasi Stabilized Petrov-Galerkin), with reasonable robustness to some type of mesh distortion. The QSPG also shows minimal pollution, identical to QSFEM, for uniform meshes with square elements. Next we formulate the QOFD (Quasi Stabilized Finite Difference) method, a finite difference method for unstructured meshes. The QOFD shows great robustness relative to element distortion, but requires extra work to consider non-essential boundary conditions and source terms. Finally we present a Quasi Optimal Petrov-Galerkin (QOPG) finite element method. To formulate the QOPG we use the same approach introduced for the QOFD, leading to the same accuracy and robustness on distorted meshes, but constructed based on consistent variational formulation. Numerical results are presented illustrating the behavior of all methods developed compared to Galerkin, GLS and QSFEM.
