Abstract:
The convolution
where f is smooth, except for some local singularities, arises
for example in electronic structure calculations. An efficient convolution
with the Newton potential in d dimensions has been proposed in
[3]. The convolution is approximated on a refined grid and
additional approximations are introduced for efficient evaluation.
This paper studies the performance of the method and a precise error
analysis of the method is discussed.
