dc.descriptionThe multigrid algorithm is a multilevel approach to accelerate the numerical solution of discretized differential equations in physical problems involving long-range interactions. Multiresolution analysis of wavelet theory provides an efficient representation of functions which exhibit localized bursts of short length-scale behavior. Applications such as computing the electrostatic field in and around a molecule should benefit from both approaches. In this work, we demonstrate how a novel interpolating wavelet transform, which in itself is the synthesis of finite element analysis and wavelet theory, may be used as the mathematical bridge to connect the two approaches. The result is a specialized multigrid algorithm which may be applied to problems expressed in wavelet bases. With this approach, interpolation and restriction operators and grids for the multigrid algorithm are predetermined by an interpolating multiresolution analysis. We will present the new method and contrast its efficiency with standard wavelet and multigrid approaches.
