Abstract

This talk is concerned with optimal approximations
of the  solutions of elliptic boundary value
problems. After briefly recalling the  fundamental 
concepts of optimality, we shall especially
discuss best n-term approximation schemes based
on wavelets. We shall mainly be concerned with
the Poisson equation in Lipschitz domains. It
turns out that wavelet schemes are suboptimal
in general, but nevertheless they are superior to
the usual uniform approximation methods. 
Moreover, for specific domains, i.e., for
polygonal domains, wavelet methods are
in fact optimal. These results are based on
regularity estimates of the exact solution
in a specific scale of Besov spaces.
