Sparse grid discontinuous Galerkin schemes for high-dimensional PDEs

Abstract：

In this talk, we present sparse grid discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes for solving high-dimensional PDEs. The scheme is constructed based on the standard weak form of the DG method and sparse grid finite element spaces built from multiwavelets and is free of curse of dimensionality. The interpolatory multiwavelets are introduced to efficiently deal with the nonlinear terms. This scheme is demonstrated to be effective in adaptive calculations, particularly for high dimensional applications. Numerical results for Hamilton-Jacobi equations, nonlinear Schrodinger equations and wave equations will be discussed.
