Fast multipole accelerated boundary integral equation methods
Abstract
Fundamentals of Fast Multipole Method (FMM) and FMM accelerated Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM) are presented. Developments of FMM accelerated BIEM in the Laplace and Helmholtz equations, wave equation, and heat equation are reviewed. Applications of these methods in computational mechanics are surveyed.
