Title
A fast algorithm for the energy space boson Boltzmann collision operator.
Abstract
This paper introduces a fast algorithm for the energy space boson Boltzmann collision operator. Compared to the direct O(N-3) calculation and the previous O(Nlog(2)N) method [Markowich and Pareschi, 2005], the new algorithm runs in complexity O(N log(2)N), which is optimal up to a logarithmic factor (N is the number of grid points in energy space). The basic idea is to partition the 3-D summation domain recursively into elementary shapes so that the summation within each shape becomes a special double convolution that can be computed efficiently by the fast Fourier transform. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.
