Free Read Introduction to the Fast Multipole Method: Topics in Computational Biophysics Theory and Implementation by Victor Anisimov,James J.P. Stewart - AID

Introduction to the Fast Multipole Method introduces the reader to the theory and computer implementation of the Fast Multipole Method. It covers the topics of Laplace's equation spherical harmonics angular momentum the Wigner matrix the addition theorem for solid harmonics and lattice sums for periodic boundary conditions along with providing a completeIntroduction to the Fast Multipole Method introduces the reader to the theory and computer implementation of the Fast Multipole Method. It covers the topics of Laplace's equation spherical harmonics angular momentum the Wigner matrix the addition theorem for solid harmonics and lattice sums for periodic boundary conditions along with providing a complete self-contained explanation of the math of the method so that anyone having an undergraduate grasp of calculus should be able to follow the material presented. The authors derive the Fast Multipole Method from first principles and systematically construct the theory connecting all the parts.Key FeaturesIntroduces each topic from first principles Derives every equation presented and explains each step in its derivation Builds the necessary theory in order to understand develop and use the method Describes the conversion from theory to computer implementation Guides through code optimization and parallelization(less)
