Wavelet Methods for the Numerical Solution of Boudary Value Problems on the Interval

S. Bertoluzza, G. Naldi, J. C. Ravel


We will describe some results on the numerical solution of differential equations on the interval, with particular regard to the treatment of boundary conditions. In particular we will concentrate on the elliptic case where we will test some methods particularly suited to treat Dirichlet's boundary conditions. Among such methods we will describe a Galerkin method based on the wavelets on the interval of Cohen, Daubechies, and Vial, and a wavelet collocation method. For both methods we give some error estimates, along with some numerical results.
