In this short course, the authors consider the analytic and computational foundations of some fast multipole methods such as the fast multipole method for the Laplace equation, the fast Gauss transform, and the fast multipole method for the Helmholtz equation. Compared with the fast Fourier transform, these methods are approximate, based on analytic considerations and robust i.e. insensitive to source distribution. When they are used for particle simulations, they reduce the cost of computing all pairwise interactions in a system of \(N\) particles from \(O(N^2)\) to \(O(N)\) or \(O(N\log N)\) operations. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0869.00045].
