Abstract:
The aim of this paper is a short introduction to a fundamental algorithm for the fast multiplication of vectors with fully populated, special matrices arising in various applications. The basic idea is known as fast multipole method, fast multiplication by H-matrices or by mosaic-skeleton matrices. We prefer a linear algebraic approach which may serve as a basis for student seminars in Mathematics, Computer Science or Engineering. Our introduction is accompanied by a broad, but far away from complete, list of references, where the reader may find more sophisticated material.
