Abstract

In this paper we have developed a second generation wavelet based finite element method for solving elliptic PDEs on two dimensional triangulations using customized operator dependent wavelets. The wavelets derived from a Courant element are tailored in the second generation framework to decouple some elliptic PDE operators. Starting from a primitive hierarchical basis the wavelets are lifted (enhanced) to achieve local scale-orthogonality with respect to the operator of the PDE. The lifted wavelets are used in a Galerkin type discretization of the PDE which result in a block diagonal, sparse multiscale stiffness matrix. The blocks corresponding to different resolutions are completely decoupled, which makes the implementation of new wavelet finite element very simple and efficient. The solution is enriched adaptively and incrementally using finer scale wavelets. The new procedure completely eliminates wastage of resources associated with classical finite element refinement. Finally some numerical experiments are conducted to analyze the performance of this method.
