Application of the Haar wavelet method for solution the problems of mathematical calculus

Abstract In recent times the wavelet methods have obtained a great popularity for solving differential and integral equations. From different wavelet families we consider here the Haar wavelets. Since the Haar wavelets are mathematically most simple to be compared with other wavelets, then interest to them is rapidly increasing and there is a great number of papers,where thesewavelets are used tor solving problems of calculus. An overview of such works can be found in the survey paper by Hariharan and Kannan [1] and also in the text-book by Lepik and Hein [2]. The aim of the present paper is more narrow: we want to popularize our method of solution, which is published in 19 papers and presented in the text-book [2]. This method is quite universal, since a large group of problems can be solved by a unit approach. The paper is organised as follows. In Section 1 fundamentals of the wavelet method are described. In Section 2 the Haar wavelet method and solution algorithms are presented. In Sections 3-9 different problems of calculus and structural mechanics are solved. In Section 10 the advantageous features of the Haar wavelet method are summed up.
