Abstract

This is the second part of two papers which are concerned with generalized Petrov-Galerkin schemes for elliptic periodic pseudodifferential equations in ℝn. This setting covers classical Galerkin methods, collocation, and quasiinterpolation. The numerical methods are based on a general framework of multiresolution analysis, i.e., of sequences of nested spaces which are generated by refinable functions. In this part we analyse compression techniques for the resulting stiffness matrices relative to wavelet type bases. We will show that, although these stiffness matrices are generally not sparse, the order of the overall computational work which is needed to realize a certain accuracy is of the form O(N(logN)b) where N is the number of unknowns and b ≥ 1 is some real number.
