12:00-13:00/Mesa Lab, Chapman Room --Prof. G. Beylkin, CU Applied Mathematics (with B. Alpert, D. Gines & L. Vozovoi) Abstract: Representations of derivative and exponential operators, with linear boundary conditions, are constructed in multiwavelet bases, leading to a simple adaptive scheme for the solution of nonlinear time-dependent partial differential equations. The emphasis on hierarchical representations of functions on intervals helps to address issues both of high-order approximation and of efficient application of integral operators, and the lack of regularity of multiwavelets does not preclude their use in representing differential operators. Comparisons with finite difference, finite element, and spectral element methods are presented, as are numerical examples with the heat equation and Burgers' equation.

Adaptive Solution of PDEs in Multiwavelet Bases.
