A class of multiwavelet bases for L2 is constructed with the property that a variety of integral operators is represented in these bases as sparse matrices, to high precision. In particular, an integral operator K whose kernel is smooth except along a finite number of singular bands has a sparse representation. In addition, the inverse operator (I - K)-1 appearing in the solution of a second-kind integral equation involving K is often sparse in the new bases. The result is an order O(n log2 n) algorithm for numerical solution of a large class of second-kind integral equations.
