Abstract
Since the storage requirements of the BEM are proportional to N-2, only rel ative small problems can be solved on a PC or a workstation. In this paper we present an adaptive multilevel fast multipole method for the solution of electrostatic problems with the BEM. We will show that in practice the sto rage requirements and the computational costs are approximately proportiona l to N and therefore even large three dimensional problems can be solved on a relative small computer.
