Abstract
We propose a solver for 1-D strictly elliptic linear PDE's with non-con-
stant coefficients of the form U - b(x)U = f(x). We combine a sparse
multiplication algorithm with a diagonally preconditioned conjugate gradient
(CG) method. We use sparse data structures to take advantage of the O(Ns)
complexity of the algorithm, where Ns is the number of significant coefficients
(i.e. above a certain threshold) required for a given accuracy.
We show that the usage of a sparse multiplication in wavelet space rather
than in the original physical space can speed up the performance of the sparse
