<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">We consider a general elliptic Robin boundary value problem.

The Galerkin method needs to evaluate a lot of complicated integrals. We present a structured approach for fast and effective evaluation of these integrals via trivariate connection coefficients. Due to the fast convergence rate, very good approximations are found at low levels and with low Coiflet degrees, hence the size of corresponding linear systems is small.
