A fast wavelet collocation method for integral equations on polygons (Q2496920)

The main purpose of this paper is to develop a concrete fast wavelet collocation method for integral equations on polygons, following the general recipe given by the authors. Especially, the authors construct piecewise linear wavelets on polygons and their corresponding collocation functionals, both having vanishing moments of order two on polygons. They also consider several critical issues for the numerical implementation of this method, such as a practical matrix compresion scheme, numerical integration of a weakly singular integral, error controls of numerical quadratures and fast numerical solutions of the resulting compressed linear systems. Some numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the proposed methods and to confirm the theoretical estimates.
