MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Panel Clustering Techniques and Hierarchical Matrices for BEM and FEM

Wolfgang Hackbusch

Abstract

The panel clustering method and the hierarchical matrix technique described here are important tools for the efficient treatment of fully populated matrices which arise from boundary element (BEM) problems and elliptic FEM problems.
