Fix nonzero ideal sheaves a_1,...,a_r on a normal Q-Gorenstein complex variety X. Fix any positive real number c, and consider the multiplier ideal J of the sum a_1+...+a_r with weighting coefficient c. We construct an exact sequence resolving J by sheaves over X that are direct sums of multiplier ideals for products a_1^{v_1}...a_r^{v_r} for various real vectors v such that v_1+...+v_r = c. The resolution is cellular, in the sense that its boundary maps are encoded by the algebraic chain complex of a regular CW-complex. The CW-complex is naturally expressed as a triangulation T of the simplex of nonnegative real vectors summing to c. The acyclicity of our resolution reduces to that of a cellular free resolution, supported on T, of a related monomial ideal. This acyclicity rests on a comparison between the homology of certain homology-manifolds-with-boundary and the homology of the simplicial complexes obtained by deleting collections of boundary faces from them. Our resolution implies the multiplier ideal sum formula J((a_1+...+a_r)^c) = \sum_{|v|=c} J(a_1^{v_1}...a_r^{v_r}), which implicitly follows from Takagi's proof of the two-summand formula (math.AG/0410612). We recover Howald's multiplier ideal formula for monomial ideals (math.AG/0003232) as a special case. Our resolution also yields a new exactness proof for the Skoda complex.
