Approximation of integral operators by \(\mathcal H^2\)-matrices with adaptive bases (Q556639)

From the author's abstract: \({\mathcal H}^2\)-matrices can be used to constuct efficient approximations of discretized integral operators. The \({\mathcal H}^2\)-matrix approximation can be constructed efficiently by interpolation, Taylor or multipole expansion of the integral kernel function, but the resulting presentation requires a large amount of storage. In order to improve the efficiency, local Schur decompositions can be used to eliminate redundant functions from an original approximation, which leads to significant reduction of storage requirements and algorithmic complexity.
