Abstract:
In recent papers tensor-product structured Nyström and Galerkin type approximations of certain multi-dimensional integral operators have been introduced and analysed. In the present paper we focus on the analysis of the collocation type schemes with respect to the tensor-product basis in a high spatial dimension d. Approximations up to an accuracy are proven to have the storage complexity with q independent of d, where N is the discrete problem size. In particular, we apply the theory to a collocation discretisation of the Newton potential with the kernel , , . Numerical illustrations are given in the case of d=3.
