The paper presents a numerical method for solving nonlinear wave equations in an exterior domain. The method is based on a domain decomposition into a bounded computational domain and an unbounded residual domain using natural boundary reduction to eliminate spurious reflection of waves at the artifical boundaries. After discretizing the equation in time an elliptic problem is solved at each time step with a finite element method using an iterative Schwarz alternating scheme. The convergence rate of the algorithm is discussed and numerical results for a nonlinear wave equation illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the numerical scheme.
