A multilevel adaptive solver based on second-generation wavelet thresholding techniques

In this manuscript, we introduce a second-generation wavelet thresholding technique used to construct a numerically stable non-dyadic sparse grid representation. The resulting second-generation wavelet projectors, when coupled to a multigrid solver, provide an elegant method for integrating the numerical solution. The combined method is then utilized in the solution of a singular perturbation problem that arises when modelling an n-MOS gate exhibiting quantum tunnelling. The resulting solution is compared with the full Schrodinger-Poisson system, and the two solutions are shown to be in good agreement. Copyright (c) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
