Numerical solution of parabolic equations in high dimensions
ESAIM: Modélisation mathématique et analyse numérique, Tome 38 (2004) no. 1, pp. 93-127.

We consider the numerical solution of diffusion problems in (0,T)×Ω for Ω d and for T>0 in dimension d1. We use a wavelet based sparse grid space discretization with mesh-width h and order p1, and hp discontinuous Galerkin time-discretization of order r=O(logh) on a geometric sequence of O(logh) many time steps. The linear systems in each time step are solved iteratively by O(logh) GMRES iterations with a wavelet preconditioner. We prove that this algorithm gives an L 2 (Ω)-error of O(N -p ) for u(x,T) where N is the total number of operations, provided that the initial data satisfies u 0 H ϵ (Ω) with ϵ>0 and that u(x,t) is smooth in x for t>0. Numerical experiments in dimension d up to 25 confirm the theory.
