چکیده

We present an adaptive fast multipole method for solving the Poisson equation in two dimensions. The algorithm is direct, assumes that the source distribution is discretized using an adaptive quad-tree, and allows for Dirichlet, Neumann, periodic, and free-space conditions to be imposed on the boundary of a square. The amount of work per grid point is comparable to that of classical fast solvers, even for highly nonuniform grids.

A Direct Adaptive Poisson Solver of Arbitrary Order Accuracy

We present a direct, adaptive solver for the Poisson equation which can achieve any prescribed order of accuracy. It is based on a domain decomposition approach using local spectral approximation, as well as potential theory and the fast multipole method. In two space dimensions, the algorithm requires O(NK) work where N is the number of discretization points and K is the desired order of accur...

An Adaptive Fast Multipole Boundary Element Method for Poisson−Boltzmann Electrostatics

The numerical solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation is a useful but a computationally demanding tool for studying electrostatic solvation effects in chemical and biomolecular systems. Recently, we have described a boundary integral equation-based PB solver accelerated by a new version of the fast multipole method (FMM). The overall algorithm shows an order N complexity in both the com...
