Preconditioned multiwavelet Galerkin boundary element solution of Laplace's equation (2006)
Journal Article
Amini, S., & Nixon, S. (2006). Preconditioned multiwavelet Galerkin boundary element solution of Laplace's equation. Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements, 30(7), 523-530. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enganabound.2006.02.003

In this paper, we study the boundary element solution of Laplace's equation using a Galerkin method with multiwavelet basis functions. This leads to significant matrix compression, requiring computation of only θ(n log n). We also develop a block dia...
