Abstract

We investigate the application of a multiscale sparse grid finite element method for computing numerical solutions to a two-dimensional singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem posed on the unit square. Typically, sparse grid methods are constructed using a hierarchical basis (see, e.g., Bungartz and Griebel [1]). In our approach, the method is presented as a generalisation of the two-scale method described in Liu et al. [3], and is related to the combination technique outlined by Pflaum and Zhou [7]. We show that this method retains the same level of accuracy, in the energy norm, as both the standard Galerkin and two-scale methods. The computational cost associated with the method, however, is O(NlogN), compared to O(N2) and O(N3/2) for the Galerkin and two-scale methods respectively.
