Wavelet solutions of evolution problems

In the following is given a method [2 10] for representing partial differential (evolution) operators using Haar wavelet bases [8, 10, 12]- Since the Haar wavelets are not smooth, they are regularized using auxiliary polynomial splines and defining suitable discrete operators [8, 3] acting on the spaces of the piecewise functions $V_n \\subset L^2(lR)$. Thus the projection of the partial differential operators is done into the Spline-Haar Space, subspace of $V_n$, obtaining discrete operators. Althought these discrete operators depend both on the order of the splines and on the space resolution level [12], they are univocally defined (with respect to the projection) in the Spline-Haar Space. A comparison of the approximate wavelet solution with a classical problem of heat propagation is also given.
