On a hierarchical three-point basis in the space of piecewise linear functions over smooth surfaces
The author's abstract states ``In this paper we consider a smooth boundary surface of a three-dimensional domain and the space of piecewise linear functions defined over a uniform triangular grid. We introduce a wavelet basis which is a variant of the well-known three-point hierarchical basis with a simple modification near the boundary points of the global patches of parametrization. Each wavelet is the linear combination of no more than three finite element functions defined over a grid from a hierarchy of triangulations. For the spaces spanned by this basis, the approximation and inverse properties in a certain range of Sobolev spaces are well known. Consequently, the simple basis is a Riesz basis and can be used to precondition operator equations, e.g. boundary element methods. Since the construction of wavelets with and without zero boundary values is part of the setting, the wavelets can also be used for finite element methods. The final section of the paper discusses the results of numerical tests in the case that the surface is a sphere and concludes that the ``three-point hierarchical basis is a good candidate for a wavelet algorithm. The construction of the wavelet basis places a restriction on the triangulations of the surface which can be used and which ``seems to be a severe topological restriction. The author suggests that for a torus the procedure would have to be modified. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0979.00042].
