Abstract

In this article, the construction of nested bases approximations to discretizations of integral operators with oscillatory kernels is presented. The new method has log-linear complexity and generalizes the adaptive cross approximation method to high-frequency problems. It allows for a continuous and numerically stable transition from low to high frequencies.
