Abstract

This work presents and analyzes a fast method for computing the volume potential using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in combination with Gauss-Legendre and Gauss-Hammer quadrature rules, for both the Poisson equation and the linear elastostatic equation. Additionally, we provide corresponding error estimates and present numerical results that demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of the proposed algorithms.
