Download or read book Wavelet Methods for Elliptic Partial Differential Equations written by Karsten Urban and published by Numerical Mathematics and Scie. This book was released on 2009 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wavelet methods are by now a well-known tool in image processing (jpeg2000). These functions have been used successfully in other areas, however. Elliptic Partial Differential Equations which model several processes in, for example, science and engineering, is one such field. This book, based on the author's course, gives an introduction to wavelet methods in general and then describes their application for the numerical solution of elliptic partial differential equations. Recently developed adaptive methods are also covered and each scheme is complemented with numerical results , exercises, and corresponding software.
