STABILIZED WAVELET APPROXINIATIONS

OF THE STOKES PROBLEM

CL.AUDIO CANLTO AND ROLAND hIASSON

XBSTR-ACT.TVe propose a n e ~ vconsistent. residual-based stabilization of the Stolces problem. Tlie stabilizing term involves a pseudo-cliffercntial operator. defined via a ~vavcletexpansion of the test pressures. This yields control on the full L2-norm of the resulting approximate pressure independently of any discretization parameter. Tlie methocl is particularly ~vellsuited for being applied ~vitliinan aclapti~ediscretization strategy. T5k detail the realization of the stabilizing term tlirougli biortliogonal spline wa\-elcts, and we provide soiile numerical results.

Wavelet bases are being increasingly used in the numerical solution of partial differential and integral ecllsations (see, e.g.. [Da2, Co] ancl the references therein). There are many aspects in a discretization procedure for such equations that can benefit from the features of these bases. TVavelets share xi~ithother multilevel methods the capability of easily preconditioning the discrete realizations of symlnetric positive definite operators. More typical of wavelets is their ortliogonality to certain classes of smooth functions (e.g.. polynomials), a feature whicli can be exploited in the cornpression of dense matrices ancl-in a more general context-in the design of adaptive discretization strategies. The finite-dimensional space. xi~hicliis used in a Galerltin-type approximation, is aclaptivell- constrlscted by including in it precisell- those lvavelet basis functions that have the potential of representing the rnost significant structures of the solution. From this point of view, wavelet projection rnethocls can be viewed as meshless snethods, ~ v i t ha highly flexible meclianisrn for aclding/removing degrees of freedom.

lT7aveletswere originally introcl~~cecl

in unbounded domains, with a shift invariant property (see [IIe]). Currently, wavelet bases are available ancl easily computable on fairll- general dornains in an arbitrary dimension. A popular st,rategl-of construction consists of decomposing the domain into the union of srnooth irnages of a tensor product reference domain. The wavelets are themselves images of tensor product ~vaveletson sucli a reference dolnain; t,his alloxi~sthe by now well-developed wavelet Received by the editor June 3 , 1999 and, in revised form, October 18, 1999,

BCUj). Flnid dj-ualnics is a challellging ficlcl of applictxtion for wavelet-based adaptive discret,ization rnetl~ods,since tjpically a flow exhibits well-localizcd structures and/or coherent vortcx patterns. For illcolnpressihlc iiows, the Stokas problem is a siniplified rnoclel ~vhicllneglects convection and focusses on the viscous effects and thc divergence-frcx constraiilt. For these reasons. it has received considerable attentioli by m-avelet a.ddicts. beginnillg with the pioneering nrorii of Lemari6 [L:. in ~vhichdivergence-fi.t:e wavelet basts mere constn~ctcclin an lunbollnded doinail1 (see also [UI). Hon~t~ver, for arbitrary k)ounded c1orna.ius and boundary conditions, divergence-free basis finictions are tlificult to build; lieilce, one restorts t,o the discreti~at~ion of t,lie continuit?- equation: thus coping with the well-ltno~vn inf-sup condit~on(see IBF]) which ties together discrete velocity and pressure spaces. Several xvaxelet discretization lnet~hodshave been recently proposed whicll f~~lfill that, condition (see [DKUl, 91a21). This task is relativelj- easy in t,lie ca.se of nonadaptive al>proxinlations, ~vllenthe discrete velocity aud pressure spaces are uniform, i.e.. 2111 the ~i~avelet basis f~nlnctioas1111 to a certain maximal level arc included. The situation becomes considerably lnore intriguing in t l i ~ adaptive case, when the need for fillfillirlg the iaf-sup condition contrast,^ against thc desire to choose, the discrete velocity and pressnrc spaces as iiideporrdent,ly as possible, guided oiily by the local structure of the flow. Instead of satisfging the inf-sup couditiolz, one (:all circurnue~n,t it. This alternative approacli, first- proposed by EIughes, Franca and Balestra [EIFB] and n o ~ i ~ popular in the finite-clement co~nni~lnitp (see, e.g.. iI3Fj). can be rcalized by appending a suitable consistent (i.e., vanislzing for t,llt, cxact solution) stabilization tern1 l o the continility equation. It prevents the onsci of spurious oscillat,ions in discrete pressure, making the approximate problelil \~rc:llposed. The same effect call be achieved by adding and then st,nt,ically condensing auxiliarl- velocity functions, the "1)llbbles" (see [BFHR]). The typical stabilization term acts at the elenlental levcl, and. through tbtl choice of local tuning paramei,ers, it provides stabilization bj- coiltrolling a mesh-dependent wc:ighted nor111 of tilo pressure gra.dient,. Among the features of wavelets (as well as ot,ller ~riultilevelbases, see. e.g., [BPI), we recall the possibilitj- of easily rel,rt~sentingnornls and inner protlilcts in Sobolev spac(:s of fractional ; ~ n deven negativt, order. This call be exploited to design new stabilized discretizations of operator equations. Sucli forlnulations are opt,imal froin the point of view of thc functional se1.tiag.

Tlie content of the paper is as follows. First, we introduce our stabilization tern1 in an abstract setting, and we prove that it implies a uniforln inf-sup condition for both the continuous and the discrete velocity-pressure pairs of spaces.

In this section. we shall construct a Riesz basis 9 p for the pressure space. as well as its companion biorthogonal basis G p 3 for which it is easy to define auxiliary velocities fulfilling condition (2.20). At first. we consider the reference domain fi =]0. l[d.where simple tensor product arguments can be used. starting from biorthogonal bases on the interval (0.1) s u i t a b l ~nlodified a t the endpoints.

This specific choice is needed in order t o build the stabilizing ivarelets $'%y tensor products. The construction on the line (see [CDF]) starts from a pair of compactly sup(xvith integer ported scaling functions (d,); of supports [-nxo, m l ] and [-??Lo, edges) sat,isfying the two scale relations

for finite rnaslts h and

h. and the biort11ogonalit~-relations (d, d ( x - k)) = 6k for all k E Z.

it is convenient to denote them by Q := {qx,X E C), G := {GA3X E C), where X stands for (j,k) with 1X1 := j.

In addition, such generators can be built with arbitraq- order of approxilnations n and fi in the sense that the integer translates of d and span the polynomials of and Then it is sho~vnthat Q (and s~-mmetricallyG) is stable in H S ( R ) for the range min(?. 6 ) < s < min(r, 72) in tlle sense that f llHb(C) (EXEC 22X1Sl(f~ j ~ ) ( ~ ) ~ / ~ for all f E HS(R).

Starting frorn a pair of biorthogonal gznerators on tlle line (a, G ). all the constructions of new LIRA spaces & and & on the interval share the basic ideas introduced in [CDV' and [AJP] to retain: (i) the .'interiorn scaling functions on the line whose supports are in [do2-3. 1 -

Then, the optirnal orders of approximation n and 17, and the nestedness are preserved.

It suffices to retain in the previous definition o n l ~the rnonolnials satisfying the sarne boundary conditions at the edges E = 0 . 1 . For our purposes. the dual LIRA will satisfy holnogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions at both edges while the primal LIRA does not satisfS an> boundary condition.
