Cohen A., Numerical Analysis of Wavelet Methods

Elsevier: 2003. - 336 p.The objectives of this book are to survey the theoretical results that are involved in the numerical analysis of wavelet methods, and more generally of multiscale decomposition methods, for numerical simulation problems, and to provide the most relevant examples of such mathematical tools in this particular context.Basic examples
