Abstract A fast method for the computation of layer potentials that arise in acoustic scattering is introduced. The principal idea is to split the singular kernel into a smooth and a local part. The potential due to the smooth part is discretized by a Nyström method and is evaluated efficiently using a sequence of FFTs. The potential due to the local part is approximated by a truncated series in the mollification parameter. The smooth approximation of the kernel is obtained by multiplication of its Fourier transform with a filter. We will show that for a rational More >
