Reduced Order Modeling Using the Wavelet-Galerkin Approximation of Differential Equations

Over the past few decades an increased interest in reduced order modeling approaches has led to its application in areas such as real time simulations and parameter studies among many others. In the context of this work reduced order modeling seeks to solve differential equations using substantially fewer degrees of freedom compared to a standard approach like the finite element method. The finite element method is a Galerkin method which typically uses piecewise polynomial functions to approximate the solution of a differential equation. Wavelet functions have recently become a relevant topic in the area of computational science due to their attractive properties including differentiability and multi-resolution. This research seeks to combine a wavelet-Galerkin method with a reduced order approach to approximate the solution to a differential equation with a given set of parameters. This work will focus on showing that using a reduced order approach in a wavelet-Galerkin setting is a viable option in determining a reduced order solution to a differential equation. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Scientiļ¬c Computing in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. / Fall Semester, 2013. / October 30, 2013. / Daubechies, Finite Element Method, Partial Differential Equation, Proper Orthogonal Decomposition, Reduced Order Modeling, Wavelet / Includes bibliographical references. / Janet Peterson, Professor Directing Thesis; Max Gunzburger, Committee Member; Ming Ye, Committee Member.
