contents This work presents a new design for broadband absorption of low-frequency acoustic waves using a thin coating made of subwavelength acoustic resonators arranged periodically on a reflective surface. We first study the associated scattering problem and the corresponding subwavelength resonance problem, and then derive analytical approximations for the resonant frequencies and the reflection coefficient in terms of the periodic capacitance matrix in a half-space with a Dirichlet boundary condition. These approximations yield an effective macroscopic description of the coating via an impedance boundary condition and clarify the mechanism of superabsorption through an approximate coupling condition. Moreover, they lead to a reduced order model that enables efficient evaluation of the scattered waves over a frequency band and accelerates broadband absorption design. Building on this reduced order model, we develop a gradient based shape optimization method using shape derivatives of the resonant quantities to achieve broadband absorption. Numerical experiments demonstrate the broadband performance and the effectiveness of the proposed design procedure.
