TY - GEN T1 - Low-rank approximation of boundary element matrices A1 - Bebendorf,Mario Y1 - 2011/11/02 N2 - In this article the problem of approximating a general asymptotically smooth function in two variables, typically arising in integral formulations of boundary value problems, by a sum of products of two functions in one variable is considered. From these results an iterative algorithm for the low-rank approximation of blocks of large unstructured matrices generated by asymptotically smooth functions is developed. This algorithm uses only few entries from the original block and since it has a natural stopping criterion the approximative rank is not needed in advance.
