Abstrakt: In this article, we consider the rank‐structured approximation of one important type of Cauchy matrix. This approximation plays a key role in some structured matrix methods such as stable and efficient direct solvers and other algorithms for Toeplitz matrices and certain kernel matrices. Previous rank‐structured approximations (specifically hierarchically semiseparable, or HSS, approximations) for such a matrix of size n$$ n $$ cost at least O(n)$$ O(n) $$ complexity. Here, we show how to construct an HSS approximation with sublinear (specifically, O(log3n)$$ O\left({\log}^3n\right) $$) complexity. The main ideas include extensive computation reuse and an analytical far‐field compression strategy. Low‐rank compression at each hierarchical level is restricted to just a single off‐diagonal block row, and a resulting basis matrix is then reused for other off‐diagonal block rows as well as off‐diagonal block columns. The relationships among the off‐diagonal blocks are rigorously analyzed. The far‐field compression uses an analytical proxy point method where we optimize the choice of some parameters so as to obtain accurate low‐rank approximations. Both the basis reuse ideas and the resulting analytical hierarchical compression scheme can be generalized to some other kernel matrices and are useful for accelerating relevant rank‐structured approximations (though not subsequent operations like matrix‐vector multiplications).
