A quadratic finite element wavelet Riesz basisNikolaos Rekatsinas, Rob Stevenson
In this paper, continuous piecewise quadratic finite element wavelets are constructed on general polygons in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The wavelets are stable in $H^s$ for $|s|<\frac{3}{2}$ and have two vanishing moments. Each wavelet is a linear combination of 11 or 13 nodal basis functions. Numerically computed condition numbers for $s \in \{-1,0,1\}$ are provided for the unit square.

A posteriori certification for neural network approximations to PDEsLewin Ernst, Nikolaos Rekatsinas, Karsten Urban
We propose rigorous lower and upper error bounds for neural network (NN) approximations to PDEs by efficiently computing the Riesz representations of suitable extension and restrictions of the NN residual towards geometrically simpler domains, which are either embedded or enveloping the original domain, enabling the use of fast numerical solvers. The resulting bounds control the error in the natural norm induced by a well-posed variational formulation, require only minimal regularity assumptions, and thus remain applicable on complex geometries. The framework is detailed for elliptic as well as parabolic problems. Numerical experiments demonstrate the good quantitative behaviour of the derived upper and lower error bounds.

An optimal adaptive wavelet method for First Order System Least SquaresNikolaos Rekatsinas, Rob Stevenson
In this paper, it is shown that any well-posed 2nd order PDE can be reformulated as a well-posed first order least squares system. This system will be solved by an adaptive wavelet solver in optimal computational complexity. The applications that are considered are second order elliptic PDEs with general inhomogeneous boundary conditions, and the stationary Navier-Stokes equations.
