What is recorded here?
Presented a hierarchical algorithm evaluating Coulombic or gravitational interactions for N particles with work proportional to N to the stated accuracy, instead of direct quadratic pairwise evaluation.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact 1987 Journal of Computational Physics paper. Earlier multipole expansions, Barnes–Hut, later adaptive fast multipole methods and application-specific implementations remain separate.
