A class of finite element methods based on orthonormal, compactly supported wavelets (Q1898453): Difference between revisions

The purpose of this paper is to extend the class of problems that can be treated effectively using wavelet Galerkin methods by deriving tensor product wavelet-based finite elements. These elements can be extended using tensor products to represent a class of irregular domains in higher dimension. Further contributions of this paper are the determination of quasi- optimal convergence rates in these elements and the derivation of associated quadratures to insure quasi-optimal convergence rates. The accuracy of quadratures for the corresponding element calculations is established by constructing a quasi-interpolation scheme associated with the elements. Two examples to verify the approximation properties of the Daubechies wavelet-based elements and quasi-interpolation formula are presented.
