Abstract: This work deals with the numerical solution of the monodomain and bidomain models of electrical activity of myocardial tissue. The bidomain model is a system consisting of a possibly degenerate parabolic PDE coupled with an elliptic PDE for the transmembrane and extracellular potentials, respectively. This system of two scalar PDEs is supplemented by a time-dependent ODE modeling the evolution of the so-called gating variable. In the simpler sub-case of the monodomain model, the elliptic PDE reduces to an algebraic equation. Two simple models for the membrane and ionic currents are considered, the Mitchell-Schaeffer model and the simpler FitzHugh-Nagumo model. Since typical solutions of the bidomain and monodomain models exhibit wavefronts with steep gradients, we propose a finite volume scheme enriched by a fully adaptive multiresolution method, whose basic purpose is to concentrate computational effort on zones of strong variation of the solution. Time adaptivity is achieved by two alternative devices, namely locally varying time stepping and a Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg-type adaptive time integration. A series of numerical examples demonstrates thatthese methods are efficient and sufficiently accurate to simulate the electrical activity in myocardial tissue with affordable effort. In addition, an optimalthreshold for discarding non-significant information in the multiresolution representation of the solution is derived, and the numerical efficiency and accuracy of the method is measured in terms of CPU time speed-up, memory compression, and errors in different norms.
