        摘要：Convolution-type potential are common and important in many science and engineering fields. Efficient and accurate evaluation of such nonlocal potentials are essential in practical simulations. In this serial-talk, I will focus on those arising from quantum physics/chemistry and lightning-shield protection, including Coulomb, dipolar and Yukawa potential that are generated by isotropic and anisotropic smooth and fast-decaying density, as well as convolutions defined on a one-dimensional adaptive finite difference grid. The convolution kernel is usually singular or discontinuous at the origin and/or at the far field, and density might be anisotropic, which together present great challenges for numerics in both accuracy and efficiency. The state-of-art fast algorithms include Wavelet based Method( WavM), kernel truncation method(KTM), NonUniform-FFT based method(NUFFT) and Gaussian-Sum based method(GSM). Gaussian-sum/exponential-sum approximation and kernel truncation technique, combined with finite Fourier series and Taylor expansion, finally lead to a O(N log N) algorithm achieving spectral accuracy. For the one-dimensional convolutions, we shall introduce the tree and sum-of-exponential based fast algorithm.
       Part I：The series topic will cover the following topics
                   Spectral method on bounded domain and PDE-based algorithm
       
       Part II：The series topic will cover the following topics
                  （1）NUFFT-based fast convolution solver and related application
                  （2） GauSum approximation and Fast Convolution Solver

       Part III：The series topic will cover the following topics

                     1) Kernel truncation method and Anisotropic Kernel Truncation method 
                     2) Fast one-dimensional Solver based on Sum-Of-Exponentials
