Theory and applications of the multiwavelets for compression of boundary integral operators (2004)
Thesis
Nixon, S. Theory and applications of the multiwavelets for compression of boundary integral operators. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

In general the numerical solution of boundary integral equations leads to full coefficient matrices. The discrete system can be solved in O(N2) operations by iterative solvers of the Conjugate Gradient type. Therefore, we are interested in fast met...
