Abstract

In this paper we explore the hierarchical structures of wavelets, and use them for solving the linear systems which arise in the discretization of the wavelet-Galerkin method for elliptic problems. It is proved that the condition number of the stiffness matrix with respect to the wavelet bases grows like O(log2 H/h) in two dimensions, and the condition number of the wavelet preconditioning system is bounded by O(log2 H/h) in d dimensions, instead of O(h-2) if the scaling function bases are used.
