Aran Fast Multipole Library

Introduction.

LibAran is a 2D/3D Fast Multipole Method software library. Distributed under the GNU LGPL, it provides a C API to allow developers to use such algorithms in their own applications.

Currently supported features include:

2D FMM algorithms through Laurent Series.
3D FMM algorithms through complex spherical harmonics series. These series can handle Newton/Coulomb potentials. Two flavors of sparse translation operators (O(p^3) complexity) are included.
Dynamic QTree/OcTree LibVsg (VsgPRTree2d and VsgPRTree3d) particles filtering.

Features from the following list may be implemented in the future:

Diagonal (3D) translation operators based on Plane Wave Approximation algorithm.
More 2D/3D kernels support (wave equation, etc.).
Parallel version...

Software prerequisites

Aran depends on the following software:

An ISO C99 compliant C compiler (and libc) that support complex number types and variable sized arrays.
glib-2.0.
Vsg geometric library.
Optionally gtk-doc for reference documentation.
