On the Adaptive Computation of Integrals of Wavelets

S. Bertoluzza, C. Canuto and K. Urban


The numerical solution of partial differential equations involves the computation of integrals of products of given functions and (derivatives of) trial and test functions. We study this problem using adaptively chosen wavelet bases. Firstly we reduce this problem to the computation of 1-d integrals. Then we consider appropriate adaptive approximations and study the induced error. Finally we present an algorithm to compute these integrals and give numerical results.
