Abstract

Considering the space-time adaptive method for parabolic evolution equations introduced in [arXiv:2101.03956 [math.NA]], this work discusses an implementation of the method in which every step is of linear complexity. Exploiting the product structure of the space-time cylinder, the method allows for a family of trial spaces given as the spans of wavelets-in-time tensorized with (locally refined) finite element spaces-in-space. On spaces whose bases are indexed by double-trees, we derive an algorithm that applies the resulting bilinear forms in linear complexity. We provide extensive numerical experiments to demonstrate the linear runtime of the resulting adaptive loop.
