Error Estimates for Linear PDEs Solved by Wavelet Based Taylor-Galerkin Schemes

In this paper, we develop a priori and a posteriori error estimates for wavelet-Taylor– Galerkin schemes introduced in Refs. 6 and 7 (particularly wavelet Taylor–Galerkin scheme based on Crank–Nicolson time stepping). We proceed in two steps. In the first step, we construct the priori estimates for the fully discrete problem. In the second step, we construct error indicators for posteriori estimates with respect to both time and space approximations in order to use adaptive time steps and wavelet adaptivity. The space error indicator is computed using the equivalent norm expressed in terms of wavelet coefficients.
